Feb. 14." in the provinces they hold closely to the prescribed program. Examinations on syllabus material are conducted by the Dept. of Education. I learned that at the University of the Philippines they were trying out the green version of BSCS and adapting it to the country by changing the examples. University biologists are helping with this. After this summer the plan is to try to get gradual adoption of the green version in the schools. Grobman came through about 3 months ago and gave advice on the selection of BSCS material. The green version seemed most suitable for the country. Schools are crowded. One high school had at one time 11,000 students. It was bigger than Harvard. This was about 4 yrs. ago. Such large schools are now being broken up. Visited shops at Arellano. Talked to one of the teachers who had had 10 months training abroad on the Colombo plan. He equipped his shop through the plan. The Philippine government has now allotted $1 million for such shop developments.
