Stebbins, R. 1963 190 Ocean Trip Kuala Lumpur Feb. 6 We visited a general science lab. with 45 students. The text in use was " Daniels' General Science," Oxford Univ. Press. (Books 1-4). The book was written by Daniel in Malaya where he taught for 25 yrs. In one classroom we saw only 11 students. We were told these were a special group of superior students in a special general science class. The Federal Inspectorate will approve such classes only if the school has proper facilities and equipment. These students are called 2nd credit students. Other students meeting the normal requirements are called 1st-credit students. The special students still follow the syllabus. We then visited a Form 6 chemistry lab. There were 25 students. Each had a personal set of laboratory equipment. (In general science 2 students share a set). They were doing a displacement reaction using copper sulphate and zinc. It was a review exercise of material they should have learned in an earlier course. Classes have outgrown facilities. Originally there were 15+ students to a class; now there may be 45.
