In November 1948 the United States Office of Education received an invitation through the Embassy of Sweden, Washington, D.C., from the Sweden-America Foundation in Stockholm for Dr. Alina M. Lindegren, Specialist in European Education to visit Sweden for three weeks in January, February or March 1949 as a guest of the Foundation. The idea behind the invitation was to give Dr. Lindegren an opportunity to meet people working in the education field in Sweden and to discuss with them matters of mutual interest to educators in Sweden and in the United States, particularly the questions of the evaluation of Swedish student credentials. Arrangements were made for her also to visit schools and to talk with teachers and pupils. The present study is based on data gathered by the author during her visit to Sweden in January 1949 and supplemented since then through documentation. Bibliography and glossary are included.

The earnestness, even eagerness, with which the nations newly created or recreated at the close of the World War, went to work to build efficient school systems was and is one of the strongest expressions in modern times of fine faith in education. From time to time the Office of Education has reported on these new school systems. Accounts have been published of education in Estonia, Free City of Danzig, Irish Free State, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Germany. This bulletin adds another to the series, which will be of general interest to educators in this country as well as of specific help to school officials who deal with student transfers. Not a great deal has been written in the United States about education among the Southern Slavs and this account of education in Yugoslavia will to some extent overcame that lack. The reader will find that the Yugoslavians also made provision for education to be a major part of their program for national unity and development. To gather the data for this report, the author spent 2 months in Yugoslavia visiting the schools, conferring with the Ministry of Education and other official organizations, and acquainting himself generally with education conditions in The Kingdom. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) The country and its education system; (2) Infant and elementary education; (3) General secondary education; (4) Specialized secondary schools; (5) Education and status of teachers; (6) Institutions of higher education; and (7) General cultural and welfare agencies. Appended are: (1) Organization of the Ministry of Education; (2) Chief Council of Education; (3) Inspection of schools; (4) Banovina School Board; and (5) Incomplete statistics of education for 1936-37. (Contains 33 tables.) Individual chapters contain bibliography and footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]

The Office of Education has undertaken the preparation of a series of basic studies on education in a number of Central and South American countries under the sponsorship of the Interdepartmental Committee on Cultural and Scientific Cooperation. This series of studies is part of a program to promote understanding of educational conditions in the American countries and to encourage cooperation in the field of Inter-American education. The project, a part of a Government-wide program of cultural cooperation under the auspices of the Department of State, was begun in the fall of 1943. It involves travel by Office of Education specialists in the various countries for the purpose of gathering data first hand on their educational systems, and the preparation of reports from these data for publication.
