Malta : International yearbook of education 1966

Abstract

The 91 national reports on educational development in 1965-1966 which are published in this XXVIIIth volume of the International Yearbook of Education make a new contribution to the annals of educational development since 1933, the date of the first volume of the Yearbook. The more systematic presentation of the contents of the national reports submitted at the XXIXth session of the International Conference on Public Education has made comparison of some areas of educational development easier. These comparative studies appear, as in other years, at the beginning of the volume. In addition to the quantitative tables referring to educational budgets and to the numbers of pupils and teachers in the different educational levels, the comparisons deal with changes introduced during the year in (a) Structure and Organization, (b) Curricula and Syllabuses, (c) Teaching Methods and Textbooks, (d) Teaching Staff (Recruiting, Training, and Further Training). These chapters give a bird's-eye view of the outstanding events which have taken place on the specifically scholastic side of educational development.
