Because of close relations between the Philippines and the United States in the earlier years of this century, developments in the Philippines since that country achieved its independence in 1946 are of particular interest to Americans. An important aspect of the island nation's efforts in its first 15 years of complete self-government is the expansion of its educational system. At the higher educational level, the broadening of opportunities since World War II has been marked by a striking increase in the number of colleges and universities, the majority of which are under private auspices. The rapid growth and resulting complexity of the higher educational sector has rendered obsolete most of the earlier reference material available in the United States concerning Philippine institutions of higher learning. With educational intercommunication between the two nations expanding rapidly in volume and importance, the publication of a study of the current state of higher education in the Philippines seems particularly timely. It is hoped that the present bulletin, which supersedes "Public Education in the Philippine Islands" published by the Office of Education in 1935, will be of particular value to students of comparative education and to American university officials dealing with educational exchanges between the United States and the Philippines. This bulletin is the second part of a two-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Chapter VI: Programs of Study; (2) Chapter VII: Students, Teachers, and Teaching; (3) Chapter VIII: International Cooperation; (4) Chapter IX: Problems, Plans, and Progress; (5) Chapter X: Philosophy of Education; (6) Bibliography; and (7) Appendices. Appended are: (1) Degrees and Certificates Granted by the University of the Philippines, Specified Years, 1909-59; (2) Number of Authorizations by the Bureau of Private Schools to Schools, Colleges, and Universities for Curriculums Leading to Degrees, Titles, and Certificates, as of June 9, 1958; (3) Number of Students Granted Orders for Graduation by Bureau of Private Schools, by Course, Philippines, 1947-48 to 1958-59; and (4) Private Colleges and Universities. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as two separate parts. The first part includes the foreword through Chapter V. The second part includes Chapter VI through the appendices. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second part. For the other part, see "Higher Education in the Philippines.

There was a need to synthesize what was being done in public schools and colleges and to provide suggestions on how to organize guidance and counseling services to meet the needs of the underachiever with superior ability. As a result, a conference was called by the Office of Education on June 23-25, 1960, in Washington, D.C., to plan the contents of a bulletin on guidance for the underachieving talented child. The participants in the conference made a careful review of guidance problems peculiar to the underachiever and the nature of research and demonstrations which have been conducted in this area. They studied the questions pertaining to guidance services for the underachiever which were being asked by educators, guidance personnel, parents, and community leaders. They concluded that the bulletin should be directed toward guidance for the underachiever with superior ability and that the content should be of practical nature to show what was currently being done to provide guidance and counseling services for the underachiever at all grade levels. This publication contains suggestions on how the guidance needs and problems of the underachiever can be identified and defines ways in which these needs can be met at the various educational levels. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) Nature and Scope of the Problem (Irene Impellizzeri); (2) Definition and Identification of Academic Underachievers (Merville C. Shaw II); (3) What Can Be Done at the Elementary Level (Anna R. Meeks); (4) What Can Be Done at the Secondary Level (Helen G. Stern); (5) What Can Be Done at the College Level (Robert O. Stripling); and (6) Summary and Implications (Leonard M. Miller). Individual sections contain footnotes and references. [Best copy available has been provided.]

Current information on the subject of board structure and function is being increasingly sought by many persons and agencies involved in public and nonpublic higher education, including boards and administrations of colleges and universities; educational agencies of religious bodies; legislative commissions; and governors and their executive agencies. This publication is designed to satisfy the need for more adequate and current information on interinstitutional coordination and control of nonpublic higher education. In essence, this study constitutes a description of the organization and functions of denominational boards and related agencies having governing, coordinating, supervisory, or other working relationships with groups of church-related colleges and universities. The purpose of the study is to give a comprehensive description and depth analysis of a limited number of these boards, and to identify problems, issue, strengths, and weaknesses in their structure and functions. The boards reported in the study vary widely in regard to the number and type of institutions with which they have working relationships, and in the nature and scope of their responsibilities to these institutions. They may thus be considered as constituting a broad sampling of church-related boards of higher education. Perhaps the most salient fact brought out in the study is that the denominational groups involved sense keenly the need to identify more clearly the relationships which do exist and those which should exist between the denomination, through its educational board or agency, and the institutions of higher education related to it.

This bulletin reports on the contributions of the Federal Government to the improvement of language and area studies. This report indicates that two fundamental conclusions have become readily apparent: (1) non-Western studies have received material assistance under the National Defense Education Act of 1958 (NDEA) without which the present high level of scholarly activity at 55 language and area centers would not have been possible and without which the increase in manpower trained in modern foreign languages would not have been effected; and (2) this has been accomplished without suggestion of Federal interference. In its assessment of the impact of NDEA on non-Western studies, this report has drawn heavily on the considerable body of literature now available on this subject. The present report covers the first 5 years of the NDEA language and area centers program, although for the fourth year (1963-64) some of the data are based on advance estimates rather than on final reports. Appendices include: (1) U.S. Office of Education Policy Bulletins on the NDEA Language and Area Centers Program (L. G. Derthick); (2) Statement of 53 University Foreign Language and Area Center Directors on Title VI of the National Defense Education Act, October 14, 1962; (3) A Survey of Intensive Programs in the Uncommon Languages, Summer 1962 (Henry M. Hoenigswald, Ernest N. McCarus, Richard B. Noss, Joseph K. Yamagiwa); (4) Report on Chicago Seminar of the Committee on Summer Programs in Connection with NDEA Language and Area Center Programs; and (5) statistical tables. A selected bibliography is also included. (Contains 5 footnotes, 11 tables, and 6 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

This bulletin chronicles the authors' visit to the Soviet Union, May 14-28, 1963, sponsored by the Ministry for Public Education of the R.S.F.S.R. and the Ministry of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education of the U.S.S.R. The purposes of the visit were to renew earlier contacts with Soviet educators and scientists; to explore the possibility of expanded exchange of educators under the U.S.-U.S.S.R. cultural agreement; and to exchange views concerning the role of cybernetics in education. Individual chapters describe their activities in Moscow at: (1) the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the R.S.F.S.R.; (2) School No. 5, a public school; (3) Boarding School No. 12, an experimental school of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the R.S.F.S.R.; (4) a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Public Education of the R.S.F.S.R. and the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences; (5) a meeting at the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the U.S.S.R. with the head of the pedagogical section and other attendees; (6) the First Moscow Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages; (7) the Moscow Institute of Energetics, the source of many of the teaching machines and cybernetic devices used in the Soviet Union; (8) the Moscow State University, and a discussion about a possible teacher exchange program; and (9) an informal, unscheduled dinner discussion with a recent Moscow State University graduate. The author concludes with a recommendation that American leadership take a new look at the problems of developing human resources. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

The purpose of this bulletin is to describe the current status of proposals for formalizing negotiation procedures between teachers and their boards of education, indicating some potential trends. The entire issue of collective negotiation by teachers remains of relatively recent origin in terms of interest on a national scale, and the directions which such formalized negotiation procedures will take must await a passage of time. Recent legislatures in a number of States have considered bills for the establishment of collective bargaining for teachers, for example. The interested State educational organizations in at least one State have cooperatively agreed upon some suggested guidelines and then differed upon the need for legislation to mandate them. Teachers and their boards of education in local school districts throughout the Nation are considering the advisability of a policy statement on the matter. Because of the significance which the formalization of board of education-teacher organization relationships might have for education in the decades ahead, this bulletin examines a few of the major practices, issues, problems, and possible trends. Appended are representative statements on board-staff relations which have been issued by national, State, and local education organizations, including: National Education Association; National Schools Boards Association; American Federation of Teachers; Committee on Working Relations Between Boards of Education and Teachers Organizations [Connecticut]; Norwalk, Connecticut; Denver, Colorado; Butte, Montana; Bremerton, Washington; and Champaign, Illinois. A bibliography is included. (Contains 46 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

This bulletin lists the studies in alphabetical order by senior author. (Contains 12 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

This report presents long-range projections of the number of degrees that will be earned at institutions of higher education in the United States and its outlying areas. Projections by level of degree are provided for total degrees and for certain selected fields of study for the years 1965, 1970, and 1975, as well as for the 5-year periods 1961-65, 1966-70, and 1970-75. The data upon which the projections are based have been taken from the Office of Education's annual circulars, Earned Degrees Conferred, for the years 1953 through 1962; these circulars provide actual data on earned degrees as reported by individual institutions of higher education. Projections of degrees by field are presented for selected areas in which there is considerable demand for data. The projections are basically extensions of past trends with allowance made for the tendency of such trends to level off. Appendices include: (1) Historical Series of Degrees by Level and by Field of Study; and (2) Methodology. (Contains 3 footnotes and 20 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Since 1960 most of the countries in middle Africa have gained their independence and are confronting the great problems of nation building and economic development. The entire region shows both a popular enthusiasm for education and a conviction among leaders that education is a key to economic and social development. This bulletin has been developed in response to an increased need for basic information on the educational system in Uganda. The bulletin describes various levels and types of education in Uganda with emphasis upon curriculum and course content. It is based to a large extent on selected documents concerning education published or issued by the Uganda Government or schools from 1953 through 1962. The bulletin contains summaries of several of these documents that are not widely available in the United States, and extensive excerpts from some of them, such as course syllabuses used in the Uganda schools. This basic information and selected documentation should serve, then, to increase American understanding of education in that country. Appended are: (1) Senior Secondary Entrance and Junior Secondary Leaving Examination (J.S. II) in English: 1959; (2) Training Colleges for primary-grade, primary-grade domestic science, and junior-secondary school teachers: 1961; (3) Syllabus for the 15-Week Assistant Administrative Officers' Course at the Nsamizi Training Center: 1960; and (4) The 1963 Recommendations of the Uganda Education Commission: A Summary.
