Stebbins, R. 1963 170 Asian Trip Nicola Lemper Feb. 4 The minister (Kalu) has signed a Fulbright Grant agreement and feels feels educational exchange with the U.S. is desirable. He may be more inclined to recognize non-British education as valuable since he has not had a university education. No2, 2-4 have bias. Last year for the first time free primary education became available. It is not yet compulsory because school facilities are not yet adequate. There is, however, a larger percentage of children in school than formerly. The school sequence is 1-6th primary, 5 years secondary. After the 6th year there is an examination for entrance into the secondary school. The exam. is deliberately designed to pass only 30% of students. There is strong control here again & pressure because of lack of adequate facilities. In the secondary schools there is a test at the end of the 3rd year, following which successful students get a "Lower School Certificate" (end of 9th year). "Form 5" is the school certificate granted at the end of secondary school. "Form 6" is achieved after 2 more years of schooling (post academy)
