| AdminHistory | Schools Language Survey project was originally developed by the Linguistics Minority Project and was designed to assist local education authorities to document the range of linguistic diversity amongt pupils in their schools, to plan systematic support, and to make these lanaguages mor widely available to their bilingual pupils. It was first administered by the LMP/LINC teams during 1980 and 1981 with 5 LEAs - Peterborough Division of Cambridgeshire, Coventry, Bradford, Haringey and Waltham Forest. By 1982 draft guidelines were in place and Brent and Hounslow were the first LEAs to use them. It became apparent there was a need to broaden the Survey and, from January 1984 until June 1985, the project was attached to the ESRC-funded Community Language and Education Project. |
