Programme Committee Home Economics Policies in Education and Training
At the last Council Meeting in Sligo, 2010, the Policy and Training Education Programme Committee developed the idea of a survey to assess the status of Home Economics education in schools and universities across the globe. Subsequently, a dedicated band of committee members developed the survey. Now, after much fine tuning the survey titled “Global Overview of the Secondary and Tertiary Home Economics Curriculum” is now ready for circulation throughout teacher members’ schools and tertiary institutions in the IFHE Region of their residence.
If you would like to contribute to the survey please find below the link for the survey - you are also very welcome to send the link to any Home Economics educators (members and non-members of IFHE)

Sandra FORDYCE-VOORHAM (Education Programme Committee Chair) would be interested to hear from anyone on the Committee who would be interested in compiling the results of the survey – please let her know if you are interested. Most of the collation is completed by Survey Monkey program – it is an easy matter of reporting on the results.
Finally, Sandra would like to acknowledge the following core team of wonderful people who have assisted her in creating, making suggestions and proof-reading this survey – Roy BALLAM and his dedicated team at British Nutrition Foundation, Leanne COMPTON, Juanita MENDENHALL, Gale SMITH, Marilyn Mc DOWELL, Audrey DRAYTON, Margaret JEPSON, Jean TOMASIELLO.
