| Description | The papers of a consultative committee which was set up in 1981 to support and monitor the work of the new External Relations Office at the Institute of Education. This committee was initially called the External Relations Consultative Committee, but was renamed the Consultative Sub-Committee on Overseas Initiatives later in 1981, and it soon merged its activities with the Committee to Co-ordinate the International Role of the Institute. The ‘terms of reference’ of the Consultative Sub-Committee were:
i) To promote the role and interests of the Institute of Education overseas;
ii) To keep under review the international role of the Institute in its many aspects;
iii) To sustain links with British agencies concerned with Education overseas;
iv) To advise on and facilitate the establishment of links with bodies overseas e.g. universities, public and private research bodies etc.
v) To institute and maintain a register of the overseas interests and experience of the Institute staff.
The papers in this file include:
- correspondence, memos, circulars;
- agendas, minutes, and meeting notes of the Consultative Sub-committee;
- reports of the Sub-Committee, and of the External Relations Office. Many of these reports are about the lack of satisfactory accommodation available for international students;
