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.
