The educational activities of the Institute are managed by the PACKAGING EDUCATION BOARD. The purpose of this board is not only to administer the educational opportunities offered by the Institute, but also, through its Chairman, to monitor existing packaging courses, to keep in contact with local industry on an ongoing basis so as to ensure that courses remains relevant, and to keep in touch with members of the World Packaging Organization so as to monitor and keep abreast of world wide educational opportunities and standards generally.
