Stebbins R. 1963 Ocean Trip 243 Manila 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.
