Stebbins, R. 1963 Assist Trip 241 Manila Feb. 15 Roman Torongo, Superintendent of Schools, Manila; Julita Santos, Supervisor of Science Education, Secondary Schools, Manila; Father Kaligbak, Rector and President of Colegio de San Juan de Letran. The latter was sent recently to visit, study, discuss, and consult with people in the U.S. on Sci. Education; hovever, I discovered upon being shown his itinerary and list of contacts that he had evidently not been put in touch with the people involved in the new curriculum studies! Miss Harford, herself, seemed only vaguely aware of them. At the Univ. of Philippines 10 teachers are finishing a year course on BSCS materials. This summer adoption of the green version will be completed. CBA and PSSC programs are regarded as a little difficult for Philippine teachers. Their background needs to be upgraded. CHEM, honors, might work. The above 10 teachers are going to use the green version of BSCS in 10 highschools. There are 249 general highschools, 170 vocational schools and over 1000 private schools in the country. The Bureau people said one of the main problem is supplies, including manuals.
