Abstract
As part of their coursework, our Post Graduate Certificate in Education [PGCE] Technology students were required to spend four weeks developing education‐business partnerships [EBPs], liaising with schools and local businesses to develop resource materials for use in the classroom. The emphasis was on education about business and through business rather than education for business, and on the development of personal and professional skills. The programme attracted considerable interest and was expanded to include non‐Technology students. In 1996/97, a total of 49 students from 8 subject areas worked with 13 business organisations to produce a variety of teaching and learning resources, including some on the World Wide Web. The paper looks at the rationale for EBPs, describes the development and implementation of our programme, and hints at the difficulties it now faces under pressures from the Teacher Training Agency and Ofsted.
