 In the early sixties, the Nuffield Foundation, at least partly as a result of Nyholm’s influence, established the Science Teaching project, of which Nyholm was the first Chairman of the Chemistry Consultative Committee.This program led to the development of experiential GCE courses that emphasized the "process" of chemistry, rather than the recall of chemical facts, and explored the role of chemistry in society.In 1971 Nyholm published an article entitled 'Education for Change' in which he differentiated between education and training as it applies to chemistry.
