Following Eilean's message, another measure of the institution's commitment
is the presence/absence of an education policy/statement. Is a commitment
to education endorsed at a senior level by inclusion of a statement about
the importance of education in key activity areas or objectives endorsed
by the museum's governing body?
In the spirit of getting a debate going what about a performance criteria
where a certain percentage of labels in a museum have to meet set
readability criteria? - this gets away from the emphasis on organised
group visits
