Feb. 15 It was through him that communication
was set up with BSCS. Jane and Victoria
Zarson are coming from the U.S. to help
with the Philippine BSCS. The program
has the support of the University of the
Philippines - professors, materials,
office help, professional collaboration of
Bureau of Public Schools and teachers
from the Bureau. Teachers are assigned
to the project and supported by the Bureau.
Dr. Dolores Hernandez is the project
director.
The adaptation draft of the green version
is to be out by the end of the summer
and it is hoped to get the 10 teachers
started with the new materials by
July. The material will be taught for
one year and Mrs. Sangalang and a
teacher will evaluate. Over a thousand
texts are to come from BSCS.
I learned that Japan was interested
in the blue version.
The National Public Educational
System in the Philippines is basically an
elementary school system. 75% of the
school population is to be found there.
60% drop out and there is no further
education.
