Stebbins, R. 1963 Karachi Jan. 21 collect sample plants & animals and set them up in the laboratory in an aquarium. We found we had much in common with respect to our educational view point. She agreed fully that much can be done in science by a good teacher even without equipment. There are 605 girls in the school, dressed in green, black & white uniforms. All stand whenever the principal walks by. The girls were all dark haired, dark skinned, dark-eyed and most were slender. Grades are 11 & 12. Both the arts and sciences are represented. Girls in "science" take physics or engineering and end up, if successful as medical people or teachers. They must have 1st division marks (60% a min) to go on to the university. The art block of the college offers home economics, geography and math, as an elective. The Science block - physics, chemistry, biology, and math. When a woman finishes in physics she can go on to the univ. for honors course. The school gives a diploma on completion but students may go on in the degree college, located in the same school for a BSc in science or an AB in the arts. The degree college operates in the morning. Those who only get a diploma in science may work as lab technicians or assistants.
