Feb. 4 is content that they will consider
new teaching methods if they are
convinced they are superior.
The few science teachers now in
Sarawak are Indians that have been
brought in. They will no doubt
emphasize traditional methods. Sarawak
has a difficult economic problem, thus
schools are poorly equipped.
AF is interested in developing
the testing program and will be sending
out two examinees to foreign summer
workshops on testing.
(?) AF is also involved in a half million
dollar graduate science program in
Singapore, a program exceptional because
of its size. AF does not ordinarily
supply buildings and equipment but
in Sarawak it may help an equipment.
Malay government supported students
who are studying abroad are all in
applied fields - none are in science.
Example fields are forestry, medicine,
engineering.
AF might be interested in a pilot
project dealing with the new curriculum
materials. Sarawak or N Borneo might
be good place to start. It might prepare
sample sets of PSSC equipment, for
example to be tried out.
