Index
Unless otherwise stated, references are to paragraph numbers. Printed sources are indexed only if referred to directly in text. References to other printed texts are placed at the end of the appropriate chapter. References are made to both Volumes of the Report although Volume 2 has not been indexed in detail. There are several references in the text to the National Survey (Appendices 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) and to the questionnaire to a sample of teachers (Appendix 1) which are not given in the Index.
[Notes on the web version of the Index:
To facilitate finding references, I have included both chapter numbers and paragraph numbers. Thus 2/36 means Chapter 2 paragraph 36.
24/918(and*) means 'Chapter 24, paragraph 918 and its related footnote'; 7/201(*) means 'the footnote to Chapter 7, paragraph 201'.
References to Appendices (e.g. App. 12) are to Volume 2.
The original print version of the Index contained quite a few errors. I have corrected those I noticed - if you spot any I missed, please let me know!]
