AV News 183 - February 2011
The British Association of Young Scientists (BAYS) is but one example. It is no
wonder that our important art form is neglected in our Country. In the USA
Photography is an important part within the normal curriculum. We missed out
on even making a case for it to be part of OUR National Curriculum.
An AV of Colin's production of the evolution of our art form ought to be in
every Secondary School in our Country. This superb production needs
promotion and this sort of propagation may well contribute towards the
exposure of the benefits of what we do. If our beloved RPS neglects AV once
again, maybe we as the AV Group ought to lead the way as we have done in
the past. There are more Secondary schools than there are members of the
RPS. If each Secondary school could be persuaded to become a member of
the RPS it would more than double our membership. Maybe we as an RPS AV
Group could make a start by showing the RPS how such schools could benefit
through joining us as an AV Group. WE could have Colin's CD produced and
used in Secondary schools. WE could afford to promote this. WE could
demonstrate to the RPS what could be achieved, if THEY took Education
seriously!
Maybe then THEY would take AV seriously too!
