The Embassy of one of ConsGroup countries has made representations at the German Embassy; representations have also been made by that country in Bonn. This may have prompted the Uermans to talk to me (my cable 58 of May 18). When I made a farewell call on the German Ambassador on May 19, he said that new direct 1 -'- foreign investment could hardly be expected to contribute substantially to in- dustrial development in Nigeria and that transactions of the Mid-West type should be welcome if they resulted in import substitution. I made the same general ob- servations as to his subordinates, without discussing the specific projects. Dieeel locomotives 5.

The African Continental Bank (Zik's bank) is the largest of Nigerian commercial banks and its record in recent years has apparently been satisfactory. The Management have recently established contact with me and, on one occasion, M1r.Obih raised the question of training executive staff. He re- alizes that commercial banking is not our sphere (and is familiar with NIDB) but stresses the fact that many of his customers expect the bank to advise them on longer term investment in industry and on opportunities outside the commercial field. He is thinking of one or two ranking staff getting this kind of training in the States or elsewhere. I have promised him that, even if we could not help at all, someone at the Bank would write him directly in my absence and at least sug- gest where he might turn.

My senior partner, from the London office of our associated firm, Messrs. W.J.F. Tillyard & Partners, Chartered Quantity Surveyors, will be visiting the United States from the 25th May to the 1st June and I am wondering if you would be so kind enough to write to Mr. Tuqan and Mr. Burt to let them know that Mr. Walter Tillyard will be calling to see them some time during that period. If Mr. Burt or Mr. Tuqan could write to Mr. Tillyard, at 46 Manchester Street, London W.l. to confirm a specific appointment time, Mr. Tillyard would I am sure be pleased to keep such an appointment. Thank you once again for your help and assistance. Y sin ly, NIGERIA DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS HE/Smk. Branch Offices - Ibadan - Kaduna - London REC E IVED (;F B AL FiLES CC C T 3 190 Memo to: Mr. R. Diez-Hochleitner a C' From: Ahmad Tuqan Af -May 8, 1963. Subject: Interim Report on Education Projects in Nigeria This is an interim report on educational projects in Nigeria which have been identified as worthy of consideration for possible financing by IDA development credit and/or Bank loan. It should be pointed out at the outset that these projects have been selected on a very tentative basis. They represent no more than the opinion of one person formulated after a visit during which a vast country had to be covered in a comparatively very short time. Many more officials of government should have been contacted and more thorough discussions should have been conductedwith them before any list of projects could be put on paper& Hence the need for an appraisal mission to examine the situation more deeply and determine priorities of need with exactitude. Therefore, the projects with which this interim report will deal should, at best, be considered as intended to stir up interest and start the wheels turning for further discussion prior to the formation of an appraisal mission. They may also be taken as preliminary material to be sumarized for incorporation in a letter which the Bank may feel inclined to send to the Nigerian Government at this stage showing, in a very broad way, the kind of projects which, subject to further study, the Bank may 2. A point raised in the recent Report of the Unesco Educational Investment Programming Mission to Nigeria is pertinent to what has been said in the preceding paragraph. Discussing the state of readiness of projects for application for external aid, the Unesco Mission pointed out that "it would be too much to expect that all the many items in this courageous educational programme had already .2/ -2- been worked out to the point where precise applications for aid could be presented. Several bites at the cherry will have to be made" 1/ Developing this point further, the Unesco Mission added: "There can be no doubt that if aid could be anticipated with confidence, the preparation of a project would begin to go forward much more rapidly. We feel obliged therefore to urge with some force that the Governrents or agencies providing aid should not apply over-rigorous initial standards of readiness in considering otherwise suitable projects." 2/ This point is developed in the Unesco Mission report to the rather extreme limit of suggesting that the task of the Regional Governments in Nigeria would be simplified if a sum were to be offered in advance for the whole programme as in the case of the United Kingdom grant of T5 million. 3. What should be established now is whether it is more advisable that the Bank should wait until the Nigerian Federal Government make up their mind on projects to be submitted to IDA and/or the Bank for financing, or that initiative be taken from this end in a judicious way. Though the first alternative V6 more logical and is more in keeping with Bank practices, it is bound to lead .,toa great deal of delay. For it is now abundantly clear that, with the conditions evailing in Nigeria, things cannot move quickly. Each of the three Regions has to make its own decision on the projects which it considers to have first priority, a process now being hampered by the fact that nearly all of them are facing pressing local problems, both educational and otherwise, which make concentration on the selection of projects somewhat difficult. Furthermore, projects suitable - Page 133, Chapter 8, para.3. / - Ditto, para 6. ... 3/ for external aid, after being finalized at the Region level, have to come to the Co-ordinating Committee for External Aid f or Education for scrutiny in preparation for submission to the Federal Government. It is easy to visualize, when that stage is reached, how competition among the Regions may retard decision. Against the second alternative may be cited the fact that by taking the initiative the Bank may find itself compromised in relation to the projects which it had previously identified for possible financing. It is gaite conceivable, after an appraisal mission had visited the country, that some of the projectswhich appear to have priority on cursory study and as such were communicated to the Federal Government, should be dropped in view of some new factors which had come to light. 4. Despite the danger alluded to in the preceding paragraph, the advantages of the alternative that the Bank should take the initiative outweigh the disadvantages. A carefully worded letter would either obviate any meaning of commitment on the part of the Bank or - to say the least - would very considerably reduce it. A letter from the Bank suggesting projects which, if accepted by the Federal Government, would likely appeal to an appraisal mission, may end the period of hesitation from which Nigerian authorities seem to suffer at present. It may also strengthen the hands of the Federal Government and make them take a firmer stand vis-a-vis any excessive demands on the part of each of the Regions. 5. The first source from which projects may be tentatively selected is the recent Unesco Mission Report. In its concluding chapter is a list of 37 projects already approved by the Coordinating Committee for External Aid for Education. These projects are reported to be ready for immediate consideration for external finance. Their costs total about ih2.0 million of which a little under ;17.8 million goes to the five universities in Nigeria. Another list contains projects which ... h/ have not been through the Co-ordinating Committee. It consists of 33 education projects totalling about 127.3 million in addition to 12 others for agriculturfd and healthl with an approximate total cost of ;2.5 million. The grand total of the two lists is about 1,71.7 million for the 82 projects which the Unesco Mission had seen fit to recommend for financing through external aid. 6. Pursuing further the subject of the 82 projects mentioned above, the Unesco Mission Report classifies them into three categories:2! Estimated Cost 1 (million) (a) Projects for which aid has been promised . . . . . . . . 6.05 (b) Other projects suitable for early submission . . . . . . 23.27 (c) Projects that need further consideration . . . . . . . . 35.76 &65.08 million The difference between this last total and the one given in the preceding paragraph which accounts for about L71.8 million is due to the fact that among the 82 projects a few appear twice under different headings. 7. It is interesting to regroup the 82 projects identified by the Unesco Mission in a way which would show (a) what part of the 71.8 million will be spent in each of the Regions, and (b) how this amount is distributed among the various levels and kinds of education. This is done in the following tables: (a) DISTRIBUTION BY REGION i (million) Federal (23 projects) 28.h East (21 ' ) 6.9 North (16 " ) 19.6 West (22 " ) 16.9 TOTAL (82 t ) I 71.8 1... / 1/ - Page 152 - 5 - (b) DISTRiBUTION AMONG THE VARIOUS LEVELS & KINDS OF EDUCATION L (Million) Universities & Scholarships (10 projects) . . . . . 26.2 Advanced Teacher Training ( 5 projects) . . . . . 2.5 Primary Teacher Training (6 " ).. ... 8.9 Technical Education (13 " ) . . . . . 6.2 Agricultural education, home economics and veterinary (12 projects) . . . . . 1.6 Lab.

The following remarks should be kept in mind in connection with the two tables in the preceding paragraph: million (a) The amount of L28.4/in Table (a) is not exclusively intended for the Lagos area. A sizeable portion of it (about 410.0 million) is for the benefit of all the Regions. (b) Of the amount of T926.2 million in Table (b) about i8.b million are for scholarships. (c) The amounts of ;68.9 million and !613.8 million for primary and secondary education, respectively, include grants for local education authorities and voluntary agencies. 9. Another source from which projects may be selected is a "confidential" paper prepared by Mr. Thornton of the Co-ordinating Committee in Lagos. This paper must have been written at the time when the Unesco Mission Report was not yet available. Attached to it are two lists: (A) of projects and programmes sufficiently well developed to merit immediate implementation, and (B) of projects not so well developed, but which are of high priority to merit early implementation. These projects are listed hereunder: ... 6/ -6- LIST A Federal Amount 6(00) . . 1,840 (a) National High Schools (new buildings) . . . . . . .

They are summarized in the attached appendix. 10. The total costs of imported materials for the projects in Lists A & B are ;2,328,000 and L2,686,000, respectively, out of the total capital costs of 16,603,000 and 19,080,000. Without exception, all of these projects are included in the Unesco ission's recommendations for external financing. It should, however, be said that, aside from their state of readiness, it is difficult to see that the projects contained in Mr. Thornton's "confidential" paper are all of such high priority as to warrant their immediate adoption. 11. In the course of informal discussions between the writer and some officials in Nigeria, they expressed their personal opinions regarding projects of high priority which IDA should finance. They all appear in the Unesco Mission's Report with the possible exception of one project, the National Technical Teachers Training College, -hich may have been mentioned under a different name or may have been excluded. But the writer was impressed with this project. A detailed scheme for the proposed College has been prepared by Mr. J. W. Cailer, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education (Technical Education Section). The amount of 1517,000 would be needed for the implementation of the first two phases of this project. 12. To arrive at a tentative list of projects using the sources referred to in the preceeding paragraphs, some suggestions should be made before selection is attempted. The first concerns the Universities. Since the National Universities Commission /8 - 8- has yet to arrive at final conclusions concerning the development of universities in Nigeria and the courses of studies which each should have, it will be inadvisable at this stage to include in the tentative list any project related to universities. The second pertains to the expansion of primary education. In the Eastern and Western Regions, as well as in the Federal Territory, the need for primary education has been met to a sufficient degree. The Northern Region is terribly lagging behind the others in this respect. But the writer is of the opinion that funds required to expand primary education facilities in the Northern Region should be raised from local sources with a substantial subsidy from the Federal Government. The IDA and the Bank, therefore, may well choose to finance projects in fields other than primary education. The third has to do with local education authorities and voluntary agencies. Although the Unesco Mission Report recommends that funds for grants to these bodies should be included in the requests for external finance, it may not be advisable for IDA or the Bank to be associated with such projects. They may well be left to the care of the Regional Governments and the bodies interested in the voluntary agencies. 13. The attached list contains projects which have been tentatively selected while keeping in mind the suggestions given in the preceding paragraphs. While it is left to the members of the future appraisal mission to form their own opinion concerning the priorities which should be given to these projects, they should, nevertheless, form a reasonable basis for action to be taken at this stage. It is quite evident that the selected projects do not reflect sufficiently the needs of the agricultural sector. This serious deficiency might be remedied by the addition of projects for agricultural education which the agriculturalists on the Global MNission may choose to recommend.

THORNTON, OF THE BUREAU FOR EXTERNAL AID FOR EDUCATION List A (a) National High Schools (Fed.) - Ultimately 6 schools will be built, two for each region. They will be of the boarding-grammar-school type but where special emphasis will be placed on national unity. Three of the six schools should be built at once. The total capital expenditure for building and equipment for the 6 schools is 1.84 million of which 60.5 will be for imported materials. Hailf of these amounts will be needed if only three schools are immediately built. Sites are being acquired and plans drawn. (b) Citizenship Training Centre (Fed) - A non-academic centre on a pattern previously proved to be very successful in the British (now Republic of)Cameroon, to train young men and women in community service and develop in them powers of leadership. The Centre has been moved to Jos in the North and is now functioning under tents. Of the capital cost of L99,000 the amount of I1s7,000 will be for imported materials. The site is already acquired and the designs prepared. (c) Emergency Science School (Fed). - The schools are to meet the shortage in secondary school students qualified in sciences and mathematics for university entrance. The school, now in temporary accommodation, has proved its worth. The need is to provide classes for an enrollment of 1,000 day and 500 evening students as well as some residential accommodation and staff quarters. Of the ii/ - ii - estimated cost of 1290,000 for capital expenditure, 680,000 will be for imported materials. Site is already acquired and designs prepared. (d) Grammar Schools (E) - One girl's and two boys' schools are involved. The pro'ject is to increase substantially the number of children with School and Higher Certificates. Total cost of expanding the three schools is i359,000 of which Wl0O,000 is for imported materials. Sites are already acquired and designs and documents are ready for tender. (e) Rural Education Centre, Umudike (E) - The existing centre, now training Grade II teachers, will be expanded to train much needed Grade I teachers specialized in rural science. The expansion requires 145,000 of which T14,000 would be for imported materials. The site is already available. Designs and documents are ready for tender. (f) Advanced Teacher Training College, Zaria (N).- This is a Special Fund project now under Unesco's administration. The College is accommodated temporarily in buildings intended for an elementary teacher training school, but cannot receive next year's new intake of trainees for lack of space. The estimated cost is 1780,000 including ;L90,000 for imported materials. Site is already acquired and the plans have been prepared by the Unesco School Construction Bureau for Africa. (g) Teacher Training College, Ibadan. (W). - Now temporarily accommodated; permanent buildings and equipment are required. The yearly output is expected to be 100 teachers. Site is already acquired and plans are ready. The total cost is 1200,000 including Lh6,000 for imported materials. (h) Voluntary agencies and Local Authorities Teacher Training Schools(W) - The aim is to give grants to these schools to meet part of the total capital expenditure intended mostly to provide laboratories. The grants total 160O,000 of which 300,000 will be for imported materials. ... 9/ -iii - (i) Edo College, Benin (W) - The present buildings of this high school are mostly of sub-standard type and the site has a very limited area. The need for expanding the College is strongly felt, but can only be achieved economically by building elsewhere. The capital cost is ;243,000 of which 656,o00 is for imported materials. A new site has been acquired and plans are ready for the work to begin. (j) Non-Government Grammar Schools (W) - The need for their expansion is strongly felt. For Goverment grants to these schools the amount of T6l,297,000 will be needed of which T650,000 will be for imported materials. (k) Trade Centres (W) - To meet the need for craftsmen, it has been decided to expand four of the existing Centres so that each will have 9 trades by 1966. This will ensure an annual output of 600 craftsmen. Including equipment (1206,000) the total capital cost is 1850,000 of which 1375,000 is for imported materials. List B (a) & (b) Port-Harcourt Technical Institute (F/E) - This is to provide technical cducation to meet the need of industry, commerce and government services for technicians. The Federal Government of West Germany will make some contribution toward equipment and may also offer 1h0,000 in staff salaries. Of the roughly- estimated capital expenditure of 1,629,000, the foreign currency might be as high as 1600,000. The site is being acquired, but the building plans have yet to be drawn. (c) Teacher Training Colleges (N) - The aim is to produce enough trained teachers for the expansion of primary education. U.S.AID have recently completed a feasibility study and the capital required for the whole project is estimated at i7,779,000 of which about 62,000,000 will be in foreign currency. U.S.AID might make a substantial contribution. ... 10/ (iv) (d) Facilities for pre-vocational training in modern schools (W) - To broaden the curriculum, greater facilities should be provided for practical work in 24 schools. The estimated capital cost is 1480,000 of which b240,000 will be for equipment. The foreign currency part might reach 136,000. (e) Facilities for pre-vocational training in grammar schools (W) - For the same reason given in (d) above, 16 schools should have workshops and practical rooms at a capital cost of 1l92,000 including about 1112,000 for equipment. Foreign currency part might be about 1150,000.

Diez-Hochleitner who expressed great interest in the proposal for UNICEF assistance to Northern Nigeria having regard to the request from the Federal -overnment for a loan from the Bank for educational purposes for all Regions. I have been asked to provide you with a copy of the recommendation so that any action which the Bank proposes to take may be coordinated appropriately. I have also learned from Mr. Gordon Carter, Chief UNICEIF Representative at Dakar, that he has had recent discussions with the Government of Mauritania about assistance to an education project which might be ready for presentation to the June 1965 Board. Mr. Carter mentions that Mr. Van Vleet has recently effected a mission to Nauritania and is submitting a report to the bank with regard to possible assist-ance to that country. In this instance also we shoul like to ensure that adequate and early coordination of plans for assistance in this field are made. Any information which you could provide regarding the Bank's intentions would be appreciated. At an early date we hope to bej able to let you know the lines of possible UNICEF assistance to iauritania / based on 1r. Carter's discussions with the Government. Yours sincerely, G. F.

Dear Mr. Tuqan, Further to Mr. Thornton's letter A/TDA/462 of 7 April, I am pleased to give you the information requested in points (a) and (b) of your letter of March 24th. The enclosure dives the app.roximate number of ITierian full-time students studying overseas in 1962-63. Figures for both the U.K. and U.S.A. were taken from separate sets of information - thus the rounding off. The total figures for all other countries should be quite accurate but the course breakdown is pure Luess work. Since 90% of the students are in the U.K. and U.S.A., I assume the course breakdown elsewhere is not too critical. The major "Other Countries" in Europe are Ireland, France, Italy, Poland, U.S.S.R. The major "Other" countries are Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, U.A.R., India. I have heard estimates of Ni erian students in the U.K. run as high as 20,000 but have seen no substantiation of that figure. It may well be true, but I am sure the differential would be largely accounted for by part-time students and non-post-secondary students. The Federal dinistry of Education (Technical Division) did not have a record of the number of technical teachers/ instructors sent overseas during 1959-64. The estimated fizure provided by them is 50. iith bebt wisies, Yours sincerely, ( D. J. Eberly ) for Act /ng Sec etary. r March 31, 1964.

Dear Sir, Craft Schools The request for financial assistance for 11 craft schools - 10 existing and one new - has been examined in some detail and a number of points have arisen for which some amplification is requested. 2. Are your craft schools to provide a 3-9/12 years' course for all who complete the basic trade course or is it proposed to follow the system proposed for other Regions of 2 years' general education followed by one year's basic trade course? Will your comprehensive schools give 3 years or 3-9/12 years to the craft streams? 3. Will your craft schools continue to have 24-pupil classes or will they all be expanded to 30-pupil classes? How many of the 48 pupils in a 2-stream school will enter the basic trade course and what will be the size of the groups for practical instruction? Tables 148, 149 and 150 in the file you kindly prepared for us show,under "Farniture & Equipment-1965", two workshops to cost B5,825; under "Furniture & Equipment-1966", one workshop to cost B7,775; and under "Furniture & Equipment-1967" seven workshops to cost B40,775. The document of 12.2.64 shows an estimate of b8,l03 for the equipment of the basic training workshop. Could this be amplified, please, and brief lists of the furniture and equipment supplied. 4. Workshop organization is not very clear to us and it would be appreciated if we could have some details of the 3,000 square feet workshop proposed for each school, e.g., its purposes, divisions, equipment lists, number of pupils to be accommodated, and why it is considered necessary to add a circulation allowance of 35% to the area of a free-standing workshop. Also, why do Gombe and Muba have only one workshop, and others 5 or 6, as indicated on the enclosed table which shows existing accoumodation and, in brackets, your requested additions. If some workshops have become too small, or redundant, can they be converted to other purposes, e.g.,library or classroom? ... 2/ The Permanent Secretary, Kaduna. - 2 $- March 31,, 1964.

FROM: Ahmad Tuqan SUBJECT: Meeting with U.S. AID officials on education projects in Nigeria Mr. Fisher, Dr. Adams and Mr. Gardiner called 4WAht this afternoon to discuss teacher training, particularly. Their interest is mainly in the Northern Region. They were interested to know if the Bank was sponsoring any primary teacher training projects in that Region. Mr. Burt and I partici- pated in this meeting and gave them whatever information they could be given on the subject. 2. Tn the first place they started by enquiring about the Zaria secondary teacher training centre and we told them that that project had a very high priority on our list because we believed it was the answer to the solution of the problem of secondary teachers, the majority of whom were expatriates. (This important fact gains prominence when we remember that it is no longer easy to attract expatriates to Nigeria.] We explained to them what the Zaria poject stood for and the possible extent -o which the Bank might get involved in that project. They enquired whether we expected any diffi- culty in finding a sufficient number of recruits for the Zaria project, and we replied that so far no difficulty had been experienced. After more discussion on the nature of the Zaria project, they turned to primary teacher training schools and the need for the expansion of some existing schools run by Voluntary Agencies, by Government, as well as the starting of 5 new schools. They were worried whether there would be enough teacher training instructors to ran these schools and we informed them that the problem did exist and that unless special measures were taken to provide these instructors the opening and expansion of teacher training schools in the North would be greatly affected. rI ventured the suggestion that possibly in the early stages some graduates oT the Zaria centre who are fully qualified to teach in the primary teacher training schools might be used.-IThey agreed that these graduates would fit in admirably well as instructors in primary teacher training centres. The discussion then turned on the need for instructors being met by expatriate staff and Peace Corps. In the expatriate staff they included U.S. AID members who could be used temporarily as instructors in primary teacher training schools. This latter idea was giving them a great deal of worry because U.S. AID philosophy is not quite suited to nor does it permit putting such staff in operational posts when they are really intended to study curricula revision, introduce new methods, etc. We suggested, therefore, that it would be of great benefit if they would immediately start training Nigerian instructors to be appointed later to staff primary teacher training schools. It seemed that this idea has been going through their minds and further discussions took place as to the way it should be implemented. Starting as a temporary measure by attaching h or 5 Nigerians as counterparts for each U.S.AID man they could, after one yearts training, employ these counterparts as instructors in primary teacher ...2/ " 2 - training schools. This temporary measure could continue until a permanent building has been constructed for this purpose of training primary teacher training school instructors. They were not so much worried about the staffing of the Voluntary Agency schools because they felt that the Voluntary Agencies themselves would be quite able to solve this problem. Their main concern was the Government teacher training schools which are to be expanded (there are 19 such schools in view) and the 5 new schools to be started. The last question in this connection was whether this kind of training could be under- taken at the Zaria centre and it was our feeling - with which they were in full agreement - that since the two programmes were not very closely related to each other a separate building should be contemplated quite separate from Zaria. 3. The last few minutes of the meeting were spent on agricultural education and I expressed my deep concern that primary schools all over Nigeria had not yet learned to consider agricultural education as an integral part of elementary education in all grades, even including the younger children who could use gardening as an attractive hobby. 4 March 25, 1t W.

As you have surmised, the housing is standard and I will try to obtain copies of the plans for Mr. Kane from the Federal Ministry of Public Works and send them on to him as soon as possible. They will be rather bulky to go by air so it may be a week or two before they arrive. Is this alright? 3. We now have a new site in view, one which will provide ample room for proper planning and layout as well as for future expansion; it is close to Apapa, which you will recall is an industrial area of Lagos. When surveyed, I will send you a site plan - also sketch plans when available. 4. I hope no irrevocable and limiting decision will be taken on the question of Canadian assistqnce at the present stage as we have not yet made a decision on this matter. We have had tentative bids for the supply of teachers and equipment from Unesco, the United Kingdom and Australia but my Permanent Secretary has not yet had time to consider the question. We have had a visit from the Canadian side but no commitment has been entered into, that I am aware of. 5.

Dear Mr. Hollist: Referring to your letter reference 160/68/1 of March 1 I have gathered the following information. The American Council on Education in Washington has an overseas liaison comittee which should be able to advise on a list of American universities which could handle some of the fields mentioned in your letter. Apart from that body there is the Institute of Interna- tional Education which has its main office in New York and a re- gional office in Washington. The U.S. Office of Education, preferably the office of the Commissioner of International Education provides free of charge to foreign missions their directory of higher education in the U.S. You are probably familiar with that.

With respect to the query you have raised about the class formation in Igarra, Emevor, Irrua and Ubulu-Uku, I would say that it is the intention of the 7inistry to have these schools fully double-stream. 4. As regards the construction of additional classrooms for the five schools, I would point out that the Government allocates building grants each year to all granted-aided schools, among, which are these five. Accordingly, Government will make funds available to these schools for the construction of their additional classrooms. The proposed programme for the construction will be as follows: Year Emevor Irrua Sabongidda- Igarra Tbulu-Uku Ora 1964/ 4 2 3 6 5 Classrooms 65 It is estimated that the total cost of the 20 classrooms would be about f12,000. But if the 7,orld Bank would aissist with the construction of these extra classrooms, it would be much appreciated. 5. Pay I thank you for your continued interest in our projects. I apologise for the enormous trouble you are taking to straighten out matters. Yours Wve ncerely, (G.N .Eobakhare) Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education.

Dear Dr. Skapski, Thank you very much for your letter qt$d March,196a, and for the enclosure thereto. Mr. Burt and I have read these papers with great interest and are now studying then very care- fully. In parenthesis, there are no present plans for Mr. Burt to visit Nigeria again in the near future. Thank you again for sending us this valuable paper, and with kindest regards from Mr. Burt and myself to Mrs.Skapski and yourself, I remain Yours sincerely, Aba Tuqan Education Division Department of Technical Operations. Ahmad Tuqan/gs (IDA) March 5, 1964. S. Oluwole Awokoya, Esq., Permanent Secretary and Chief Federal Adviser on Education, Federal Ministry of Education, LAGOS, Nigeria. Dear Mr. Awokoya, On my return from Nigeria, I started same consultation on the subject of the proposed project for modernising teaching methods in Nigeria as you suggested in your letter to me No. A/IDA/371 dated 21st December 1963. You will recall that in that letter you raised the question whether the Bank would consider an application to be submitted by your Federal Government for a grant to assist in financing the proposed project. T should state at the outset that since the proposed application deals with a grant it cannot be considered as part of the education proiects which the Tis-Ion to TTgeria has recently appraised and identified as of high priority suitable for possible financing through an IDA development credit. With this consideration in mind the proposed project for modernizing teaching methods would stand by itself and the other education projects identified by the recent Mission would not be delayed while waiting for the application for the proposed project to be submitted for consideration by the Bank. With regard to the proposed project itself and the chances that the Bank may allot a grant for its implementation, I wish to make it clear that the Bank has no grant programme for education. However, exceptionally worthy cases may be considered on an ad hoe basis. There is, therefore, no hard and fast rule which shomiid-S followed in formulating your application for a grant except that the project should be clearly defined and its imediate and long- term aims should be well specified. Starting with what is available about the project, I find P6 5 &3 P?

In my opinion neither of these documents, as they now stand, is suitable for submission to the Bank in the form of an application. What is needed is a completely new draft which should cover the points enumerated in the attached list together with other points which you, in consultation with Unesco if you think it necessary, may like to add.

BOX 2363 LAGOS NIGERIA. March 2, 1964 Dr. Ahmad Tuqan ducation Division International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 1818 H-Street Washington D.C. - 20433 U.S.A. Dear Dr. Tuqan, It was a great pleasure for me to have met your group in Nigeria, and particularly to have made your acquaintance. You may remember that I discussed with you in Lagos the question of the (wrongly so called) Trade Schools for which the Eastern Nigeria Government has solicited the World Bank's loan. Mr. Burt and I have at that time agreed that the program of Trade Schools was not realistic, and I have informed you and him that the Eastern Region had invited me to look into this program, and I promised to keep you informed about possible changes in the situation, if any. t On February 25 I had a madting in the Eastern Region Ministry of Education, and the py6gram of Trade Schools as out- lined by me in the attached pap'r was accepted as general pattern. UNESCO and the representatives of the Institute of Economic De- velopment also participated. I stressed at the meeting the necessity of adding not only a commercial-administrative option in the third year of the Trade School, but also of an agricultural option (preparing bettz farmers). The suggestion about commercial-administrative option has been accep- ted on the spot, and that about the agricultural option received strong support and will be taken up by the Ministry of Education with the Ministry of Agriculture. I hope that in view of the present attitude of the Eastern Region your committee will agree to take another look at the Trade Schools. If I understand it correctly, Mr. Burt was planning to come again to Nigeria for a short time. If so, I hope he will let me know so that I could have the pleasure of seeing him again.

(Dear John) Thank you very much for your letter of l1th February, 1964 and for the enelesure concerning your National Technical Teacher Training College. The enclosure and the other chapters v1'ich surround it must have cost you nW hours of overtime. 2. The Missio would like to refer to several points in the enclosure. It is suggested that the cost of the student hostel accino+datimn could be re- duced by having tw students per room, giving them 65 sq. feet each and thus Mking each rom 130 sq. ft. This is to be the allocation at the Advanced Tacher Training College at Zaria. Also, it sees that the Ibadan University and other universities are now accmmdated undergraduates tw to a room at and that tw men per room is the custom at the Henley Staff College and Colombia Post-graduate Schools. at These tw latter institutions have, as you ill know, mature students of some standing. I should be glad if this question of hostel &aonowdatio could perhaps be reconsidered. 3. Staff housing at L7,700 for the Principal's house and 430,000 for six flats sms expensive. Since those appear to be standard structures, draw. lngs of then may already be available. If so, our architect, Mr. Kane, would very mach like to have copies. 4. We should like to have a copy of the site plan for te College as soon as it is ready and also sketch plans when they becam available. 5. r scents an your equipmnt lists would be few in any ease but I am Mang e at this stage because the cost of equipment ay becan of only academi, interest to the Bank.

NORTHERN NIGERIA 20th Februa r,....16 The Chief of Mission, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 1818 H Street, N.W., Washington 25, Dc. Dear Sir, Proposed Technical Training Schools Thank you for your letter dated 13th January, 1964 which raises various points concerning our proposals for developipg technical and commercial education. I regret delay in replying, but it has taken some time to obtain the views of the Makurdi management with respect to the proposed Boat-Building course. 2. Your para (3) refers - Although a two year Fitter Machinist course at the proposed Kaduna Technical Training School will have 72 students under training at any given time, it is most unlikely that all 72 students will be in the Machine Shop at the same time. Practical work occupies 24 periods of a 42 period week and since - there is a fair proportion of hand-fitting and other bench work in syllabus 193, it is considered that with suitable time-tabling, the number of machines as specified would be sufficient for our require- ments. It would of course be nice to have a larger number of lathes to cover the possibility of machines being out of commission but in the light of past experience it was considered that by specifying lathes specially designed for student use, incorporating more ro- bustly designed parts and special features such as, heavy duty spindles, bearings, slides and saddles, safety locks and isolation. of electrical circuits etc: the incidence of breakdowns would be reduced to a minimum. It is agreed that the initial cost of these machines is higher than that of a standard type, but over a period of years they should effect a saving by giving longer and more efficient service. 3. Your para (4) refers - It is agreed that students can achieve suitable standards in certain basic skille i4 less tinie than that covered by our courses but there are other factors which we were obliged to take into account when setting up standard 3 year courses in all trades. Foremast amongst these are:- a students age on entry and completion of course, b continuation of general education of student, * standard of achievement to be aimed at, a certification on completion of course, e integration with other forms of education, f employers requirements, g entry points to salary scales and wage structures. 4. You will be aware that in general the employers of Nigeria are unable to provide their own apprentice training schemes, also that with the exception of Lagos, Ibadan and possibly one or two other large centres, day release training is not feasable. It is therefore ac 2d that Government training schemes shall continue to provide basie training in a variety of skills whilst industay provides speciflseA training for their particular needs. * 4' ..

The average age on entry to any form of secondary education in this Region is 13+ and the tenr4cy is for this age to reduce to 12+ in the near future. On the assumption that a student enters a Craft School at the age of 13+ he will have completed 3 years of secondary technical education, including I year of basic trade training by the time he is 16+ and on the completion of a further 2 years in a specific trade at a Technical Training School he will be available for employment at the age of 18+. The general view of employers is that this age cannot be further reduced if the products of these courses are to be accepted as trained craftsmen, drawing full salaries within the existing salary structures. An alternative to this system is a break in formal training after the completion of either:- (a) Primary VII educatics (b) Secondary III at a Craf t School before embarking on a specific trade training course. On balance it has been decided, that for the time being it is better to continue training with no break until a student has completed 5 years of secondary technical education, so that he progresses year by year with students studying other formsof secondary education. On the completion of these courses a student will have (a) achieved a high standard in a basic skill (a be mature enough for employers to accept them as trained craftsmen (a) had the opportunity of continuing their general education in certain subjects (d) obtained a universally recognised standard of certification in a trade at the basic level. 6. You make the point that City and Guilda of London Institute course No*53 suggests 300 hours for Radio Servicing, but it must be borne in mind that this suggestion is for apprentices in industry attending school on day release, in other words the course provides theoretical training to supplement practical experience, our courses must of necessity provide both which seems to justify the longer period involved and greater amount of equilment considered necessary. 7. Your para (6) refers - After consultations with the Asso- ciation of Nigerian Cotton Spinners and Manufactures, we were requested to provide courses covering years i to 5 of City and Guilds of London Institute courses Nos. 32 and 34, Kaduna Textiles already operate courses covering years I to 3 of Course No.32 but are unwilling to extend this facility to other Cotton Manufacturers in the Region. It was therefore considered that the proposed Kaduna Technical Training School should cope with years I - 3 of both courses, whilst the Kaduna Polytechnic offered years 4 - 5. It is possible that with the demand for such training and the concentra- tion of the industry in Kaduna, these courses may be the first in this Region to operate on a day release basis. The industry will most certainly be able to absorb the outputs of these courses. 8. Your para(7) refers - There would appear to be no over- lapping of the courses offered at the Technical Training Schools and the Kaduna Polytechnic since the Technical Training Schools do not offer courses in advance of the City and Guilds of London Insti- tute Intermediate or Basic Craft Certificate at present and will only offer courses at Final level to selected students in the future, whereas the Kaduna Polytechnic will restrict itself to course leading to Full Technological Certificates, Ordinary and Higher Certificates in courses 302 - 305, and other courses of equivalent standard. In many cases an Intermediate and in some cases a Final Certificate i* a pre-entry requirement for Pull Technological courses. There is no doubt that the majority of students who enter Technical Training Schools will aspire to technician status, a natural and commendable aspiration, but all will not achieve an Intermediate or Basic City and Guilds of London Institute certificate on completion of their basic training and all who obtain these qualificationswill not go 46" on to obtain Final and Full Technological Certificates. Our problemAto ....... /3 tie trade trainigg to a standard accepted by all concerned until such time that Nigeria was able to take over the responsibility of technical exams and certification. I am pleased to say that a stabt has been made in this direction by the W.A.E.C. with the assistance of the GA.L.I. 9. Your para (10) refers - There need by no fear that the Kaduna Polytechnic will be half empty during its early existance as envisaged by French aid Wigglesworth since the original proposal to build in 2 phases has been increased to 3, so that the initial phase 1A will accommodate 700 students. If you will refer to Appendix, Technical Institute Kaduna, Enrolment Projections, you will notothat by September, 1966 there will be a student population of 670. It is hoped that building of Kaduna Polytechnic will conmence late this year, therefore it will not be possible at the very earliest to open Phase 1A for student enrolment until mid 1966. It will therefore be operating at near capacity as soon as it is oped. 10. The problem of setting up both a Polytechnic and a Technical Training School at Kaduna is tied up with the production of craftsmen and technicians in sufficient numbers for the Region's needs. With the existing 3 Technical Training Schools plus the 3 proposed Technical Training Schools our annual output of Craftsmen will be many times less than that recommended in the Ashby and other reports. Similarly the output of the Polytechnic when operating at full capacity will be much less than that recommended, therefore on the count of outputs alone there is every justification for both institutions. 11. Your Para (12) refers - The initial request for an Agric. Mechanics course came, as may be expected, from the Ministry of Agriculture but before agreeing to provide such a course we took the precaution of obtaining an assurance from the Ministry of Agriculture that they would guarantee to emp- loy all the end products. At present the Ministry of Agricultt- re recruits the end products of such courses as Fitters, Motor Mechanics, B/Welders, and after further specialised training at an Agricultural Depot are employed as Technical Assistants, Superintendants, or Workshop staff, but they would much prefer to have a person trained to the standard of a general agricul- tural mechanics course, such as C.G.L.I. No.260. 12. Since there is a great demand for motor mechanics and a limited demand for agricultural mechanics there would appear to be no point in adding agricultural training to all courses in motor vehicle mechanics work* You will also be aware that Course 160 Motor Vehicle Mechanics Work covers both internal combustion and compression ignition engines which would seem to satisfy the employers requirements for both types of motor mechanics. 13. Your gara (13) refers - The students of C.G.L.I. course No.74 Welding will suppliment their training with smithing, forging and bench fitting but as the old course No.78 Blackahith and Mechanics Work, which more appropriately describes this course, is being discontinued, it was felt that the course should assume the name of the certificate to be aimed at. 14. Your Mara (14) refers - It is quite true that the products of Carpentry and Bricklaying courses are difficult to place with building contractors, who in general prefer to emplpy people who have acquired a limited technique means but it must be understood that this preferenceby other lly tied up with rates of pay and not ability. is usua- .... /4 -4 - Technical School products quite rightly expect the minimum basic approved rate for craftsmen, whereas other employees are quite willing to accept below the approved rates to the financial benefit of the contractor. It is or course the standard of building which suffers and this is still indispu- tably low in this country, the M9*hew Report refers. Again we are faced with the question, are we to implement the Ashby recommendationswith regards to technical education or not. We thought it best to set up a limited development in the production of craftsmen until such time that the Federal Man- power Survey Board could supply a more positive lead. Our plans as you will note from the tables supplied concentrate on producing larger numbers of craftsmen in the mechanical and electrical trades with a lesser output in the building trades. There is no guarantee that there will be employment for the larger outputs in any trade, this is a question of faith in the development of this country but if this country does develope as envisaged then there will be employment for the products of all our courses including those in the building trades. of-a15. Your oara (15) refers - Please find attached a copy of a letter received from the Northern Region Development Corporation which sets out the prospects of employment in the boat building industry, 16. Your para (17) refers - At present the only courses in commercial subjects operating to a reasonable standard in this Region, are those of the Technical Institute Kaduna, with a maximum output of 100 students p.a. It is proposed to esta- blish commercial courses up to School Certificate level at the Kano Secondary School with an output of 30 commercial students p.a. In due course commercial subjects will be available at other secondary schools but this will take time, meanwhile there is a large demand for personnel trained in commercial subjects. It was to fill this gap that the Kano Secondary Commercial School was planned recruiting on a Regional basis from Secondary III so that by the time sufficient of students were emerging from the commercial streams of out secondary schools, this school could be up-graded to a Regional school offering commercial subjects at post school certificate level, en equal terms with the advanced commercial courses to be offered in the Kaduna Polytechnic, resulting in two centres catering for the Regions needs for advanced commercial training.

Date.5311 _ The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of 'Education, Kaduna. Northern higeria. For the attention of Mr. A. . Hatfield. Dear Sir, Boat Building Courses Please refer to your letter number CDN.F .54/83 of 30th January, addressed to the General Manger of the Niger Marine & Engineering Compary Limited at Makurdi. 2. We would like to state most emphatical3y that we view the establishment of a course in Boat-Building at Makurdi as of the greatest importance. This Corporation has recently assumed full ownership of the Makurdi Boatyard and we have initiated steps leading to a considerable expansion of the industry. 3. In respect of Makurdi Boatyard itself we are planning to double the present output by the end of 1965 and to treble the output by the end of 1967. .e predict that the market for wooden boats will show a steady increase over the next decade due to the already apparent greater use being made of local river transport, the expansion of the fishing industry on Lake Chad, and the great possibilities which will be opened by the proposed Niger Dam. 4. Over the past two or three years the level of employment at Makurdi has fluctuated between approximately 70 and 130 employees. r the and of 1965 we expect to be employing at least 200 and by the end of 1967 probab3y about 300. 5. In addition to Makurdi, we are already planning a maintenance ship- way on the Niger itself in the Idah - Lokoja area, and forsee the necessity for similar facilities at Lake Chad. Looking further ahead, there will be almost certain3y a requirment for a shipway above the projected Niger Dam. 6. Whilst we feel that wooden boats using local materials are the best proposition for most purposes on the rivers and lakes, there will be a certain demand for steel boats for special requirements, ferries and steel barges for example. We therefore have in mind the establishment of a steel boat-building yard. 7. One of the greatest difficulties facing us in the programme of expansion is the almost complete lack of skilled staff. Were fifty shipwrights available now, we would employ them immediately. We can state with complete confidence that we could absorb an intake of 12-15 trained shipwrights a year into the Makurdi Boatyard at this present time, and that by the time the first products would be available from the Technical Training School Course, say in 1969, the industry here in Northern Nigeria will probably have even higher requirements. /2.... All correspondence to be addressed to the Secretary and not to Officers by name or office -2- 8. The suggestion that shipwrights shoudl be trained "on-the-job" presupposes an industry well-established and with a sufficiency of skilled craftsmen to b, Ile to in. truct p.rentices. This we have not got. In addition, it, is custox ry for such apprentice to spend some considerable time each week attending a formal course of instruction at an ad jacent Technical 6chool. lo such course is presently available at Makurdi. time course 9. May we suggest that in addition to establishing a full of persons already provision should also be made :or part-time training n eaded facility is urgently engaged at the boatyard. This most valuable Technical behools as we are currently engaging ex-students of the existing or joiners or oabinet-makers but who who have been trained as carpenters shipwrights ano taught the elements of Naval now require to be trained as Architecture. 10. So pressing is our need for such training, may we ask if it might to give firstly bepossible for a pilot course to be established immediately present Technical a full time extension course to selected products of the Schools, and secondly to cormencoe part time courses for those already engaged in the industry. 'e sugest thet such a course might find temporary accomodation in the a.n i Craft 3chool which already has a small workshop and could possibly provide classroom space. uere this in to be done we ourselves would make available a small suitable house and ould also be Makurdi to the Technical Officer conducting the course Boatyard to be pleased to co-operate by arranging for facilities of the made available for instructional purposes. 11. Such a pilot course would serve the double role of starting this essential training immediately, and socondly of providing a valuable indication at little cost of ootential value of a full scale training scheme. 12. We are aware that shipwright courses were previously held at Sapele, and indeed the only skilled shipwrights at present in our employ were was that trained there, -e suspect that the reason the courses failed at that time the boatyards in Nigeria were still at an experimental stage and also that Sapele was not itself a boatbuilding centre. le should different in that it point out that conditions at Makurdi are now very is itself the centre of an expanding industry. what decision 13. ,e should be most pleased to hear as soon as possible is taken in this matter and repeat once again that we view the establishment of this course as of the greatest importance in our development plans.

I believe you have received my previous letter promising teiat' I would forward to you as aoon as possible details about Trade Schools. We are now very busy collecting the particulars while the Architects are revising their plans with a view to cutting down costs. I quite agree that schools in this Region are des- cribed in different ways such as private, Community and so on. As I explained to you, these names do not affect the fact that under our Education Law, these schools are not supposed to be profit making. In any case, Government would not apply for external assistance to help a school which is for private profit. Our applications, therefore, affected schools which are attracting or will soon be attracting Government grants. They are all recognised as Voluntary Agencies'. I repeat that any school which attracts, or is likely to attract, Government grants, cannot under our Law operate for private profit and is subject to regular supervision and occasional audit by Government 6fficials. All the schools included in our list are such. With kindest regards, I remain, Yours sincerely, (N. U. Permane retary, Minist Education.

BY AIRMAIL S. Burt Esq., O.B.E., International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 1818, Ho Street, N.W.. Washington 25, D.C. U.S.A. Dear National Technical Teacher Training College I a sorry it has taken so long to send you the revised schedules but I have taken the opportunity to study the course arrangements in more detail, to consult the Federal Ministry of Works on costs and to recast the rather hurried, first attempt, at an equipment list. However, here is a copy of the revised schedules, a copy of Chapter III of the National Plan and a copy of the equipment list, all in duplicate. You will see that the revised schedules show an increase in the size of workshops rather than a decrease, the layout being explained in the text. I think in criticising the size of the workshops* !ou had not perhaps appreciated the range of trade work to be covered, as regards both special method and extension courses. Potential trade teachers will be required to use the workshops for these purposes as they cannot rely solely on teaching practice for such instruction. You will see though, that the overall size of the College is not increased beyond that agreed between us at the conclusion of your visit here. The site we had in mind turned out to be unsuitable as it was bisected at two-thirds of its length by a very large storm-water canal and although the major segment of the site would take the present college it would not permit of sufficient future expansion. Tomorrow we are going to look at another site near to the University. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to ask. Incidentally we have recently received the plans for the new Technical Teacher Training College at Huddersfield and our proposals for accommoda- tion are surprisingly close. Yours sincerely, (J.W.

Dear Mr. Somade, Further study of your original application for IDA assistance to add 4 classrooms, 3 laboratories and one commercial subject classroom to each of 16 secondary grammar schools has given rise to one or two queries, particularly because your later booklet dealing with the conversion of 16 secondary modern and 16 secondary gramar schools to multi-lateral schools indicates that the additions referred to above only partly satisfy the need for a greater and a variable number of additional rooms, depending upon existing accommodation. These questions are, (i) When is it your intention to build the balance of the needed additional accommodation and with what funds? (ii) Will additions financed by the West Nigerian Government be built at the same time as those financed through an IDA credit? (If the answer is "yes", the Bank would prefer to consider an application to finance all the additions at fewer sites rather than share exTisions at all the si~tgs. 2. With reference to your proposals to add woodwork and metalwork shops to 4 secondary gramar and 16 secondary modern schools, I should be very grateful if you would (i) supply the names and locations of the 4 secondary gramar schools which have been selected for this purpose and if you could also send complete data on these 4 schools unless this information is already included in your document "Proposed Conversion of Secondary Modern and Graar Schools to Five-Stream Comprehensive High Schools, 1964-1968". That is, I should like to have schedules of existing and proposed accommodation, building and equipment costs, including definition of the off-shore proportion of costs, number of classes and other relevant information; .. 2/ Mr.H.M.B.Somade,0.B.E. - 2 - February 7, 1964 (ii) confirm that the list of secondary modem schools to receive woodwork and metalwork shops is as shown at page 2 in the * document referred to at (i) above; (iii) supply, if possible, the curricula to be employed in teaching woodwork, metalwork and technical drawing in the proposed work shops; (iv) supply details of the training program for teachers of woodwork and metalwork, indicating where this training is taking place, and the number of teachers already trained, under training and projected; (v) indicate how the am of A14,000 for equipment is reached.

ES:347/933, it is noted that certain schools are stated to be "Private", and "Community 4 owned. Others apparently belong to a "Development Society", an "Education Syndicate" or "Education Association". I should be very grateful for further information on the proprietorship of these schools, including such points as whether or not they qualify as voluntary agencies, whether they are operated for profit, and the supervision and financial assistance they receive from your Ministry. An early reply to this letter would be greatly appreciated and I also look forward to receiving at an early date the requested information on your proposed five trade schools. With kindest regards, I remain, Yours sincerely, Ahmad 2 qan Education Division Department of Technical Operations SJBurt/ga (IDA) cc: Mr.J.E.C.Thomtoni, Lagos. Mr. J.

Ps/001/13/14/25 dated 18 January 1964 Dear Mr. Schlaefer: First I believe it necessary to state that until either positive or negative action is taken, the official position of the Bank in relationship to the Zaria project must be that it is one of the.projects in Nigeria being considered for possible financing by the Bank. I have received a written statement from the Federal Minister of Finance, Lagos, Nigeria, to the effect that all materials and equipment imported into the country for the execution of projects which the World Bank may finance would be admitted free of duty and other taxes. It is my under- standing that while this letter originated from the Federal Territory it would apply to all the Regions. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you in Lagos; I trust our paths will cross again. Hoping this finds you in good health, I remain, Sincerely, Michael M. Kane, A.I.A.

Three manpower economists have been invited from the U.S. to participate in their own personal capacity. One of thin in Mr. George Tobias of this Division, and he will be attending. If there is any service that he can render to your Department while in Lagos, I know he would be highly pleased to do so. In an, event, he would want to be in touch with Mr. Fajans and it would be very welcome to us if you would inform Mr. ajans that Mr. Tobias expects to arrive at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos on the eveni-g of February 23.

Dear Mr. A~g: May I thaw* you and your staff for the expeditious and excellent preparation of the series of "Green Books" on projects proposed for our con- sideration and for your time and co-operation during our visit to Ruugu. 2. For the sake of clarity, I weld like to revisi the material me expect to receive an tu projects in order to give thea our consideration: (i) The expansion of science teaching in 30 secondary schools and 20 teacher training institutes. In addition to the "Green Book" we have received, we will need for each of these schools the information requested on the attached Forms A, A-1 and A-2. (ii) The conversion of five teacher training schools into trade centres - for each school and in total a sumaary similar to that prepared for other projects in the "Green Books" and in addition for each of these schools the information requested on the attached Forms A, A-1 and A-2. The Inspector of Technical Education gave us a document "Proposed Expansion of Gover.ment Trade Centre, .. gu". On page entitled 7 entitled "Sumary" there is an item which notes: "Architects Fee, Road Development Contingenacies - 20% of (a) (Builing Modification L 13,450) and (b) and (Squipment 6 34,850), Total L 58,160". Could you break down this figure of L 58,160 and amplify the nature of the "Architects Fee" noted, i.e. is this a chargeable item by the Ministry of Works or the fee for the coMsM1sioning of a private architectural firm? 4. Am I to receive any completion of the general questionnaire left with you which I asked be only given your cursory attention? Please give my respects to Mrs. Agg. Sincerely, cc. Mr. J.E.C.Thornton.

Mr. Ahmrn Tukan, Educational Adviser to the International Bank for Reconstruction Development, Dear Mr. Tukan: May I express miy thanks and -ppreciation to rou for your consideration and help durin- the discussions relative to Zaria. I confess that the statement about staff housin, was a very great surpr ise. T know you have a most difficult taszc ana Ti rich you every sucoess. I enolose my comients a:)olut rec'uirements for staff housing on the college site, and I hope they will be of hslp. With all ood wishes, Yours sincerely, u. W. Burnhries, Grvr/HC Encl. - tj - 3 9 U3M iRTHERN SECONDALRY TEACHERS' COI EGE ZARIA, Nigeria STAFF HOUSING I am requested to justify the inclusion of houses on the site for staff accommodation at the above college. In the context of the presunt situation I cannot see the college functioning efficiently, unM substantial provision for the housing of staff is made. For the next few years a number of the staff will of necessity be expatriate. Houses of a reasonable standard must be found for them. The position in Zaria at the moment,- and I am told also for the foreseeable future,- is very difficult and there is going to be difficulty in finding houses for those members of staff expected to arrive in the coming year. At the present time expatriate staff are doubling up where possible. This is a requirement for Peace Corps Volunteers, but I also have a UNESCO Expert and a Peace Corps member sharing one house. For some members of staff the housing provided is inadequate, - for example 1 member in a two bedroom Cosely house who has 4 young children living with him and two older children staying during the holidays. The Nigerian staff who join the college consider themselves entitled to the provision which would be made for them in many other educational institutions. This will make for further difficulty in recruiting Nigerian members of- staff for the college. These are comments relative to the larger que-tion of providing accommoda- tion, whether it is on the college campus or in the town. The main problem here is that if houses are not provided on the site, I can see no likelihood of them being provided off the site. However I think the following accommodation should be provided on the camus: 1. Principal's House Proximity to collegw and work 2. Vice-principal's House essential. 3. Librarian Since the library will be open for long periods the librarian will need to be there at mpny unspecified times. He xr she should therefore live close by. 4 4 Tardens of Hostels Por the sipervmsion of hostels proyimity at all times is a pre- -equisite. 5. P.T. & Health Education Large amount of time spent in extra currioular activities is inevitable. It is therefore essential that additional time for travelling should be avoided. 6. Heads of De-artment To ensure proper supervision of Departments, be always immediately available; acco modation should be provided on the site for the 5 Major Heads of Departments- English, Languages, Art, Science Education. This is even rore essential to ensure recruitment of applicants of good calibre and to further ensure essential continuity. Mr. R. Dies-Hohleitner December 31, 1963. Ahmad Tuqan Project for modernizing teahing methods in Nigeria You recall that Unesco has expressed interest in starting a project in Nigeria to modernise teaching. You also recall that some time ago this matter was the subject of discussion between you and Mr. McDougall in the course of his visit to Washington. The intention was to have a grant made by the Bank to implement the projeot. 2. In my recent visit to Unesco I had further discussions with Mr. McDougall in the course of which I pointed out that, if anything was to materialise it was time to have a paper prepared explaining in clear terms what the project stood for and what it waz intended to achieve. I was infamed that I would find in Lagos all the information I would need for the appraisal of that project. 3. On arrival at Lagos I inquired whether any progress had been ihads in the preparation of the project. The impression I gathered, which confirmed my previous findings last April, was that the Nigerians were not keenly interested in the Uneso project. However, the attaohed paper dated November 21, 1963 drawn up by the Bureau for External Aid for Education was givec to me which, in essence, was a more ambitious version of the Unesco paper. The paper was yet to be circulated to the regional ministries of education for their views. Mr. Burt and I were not impressed with the paper. It was very diffused, too ambitious, and failed to specify the project .ims in a manner which would make thm presentable to the Bank. For example, the paper raised the amount to $2.5 million instead of the Unesco's original estimates of $1.5 million, and it envisaged a total of 197 experts. I told Mr. J.Thornton of the External Aid Bureau that if anything was to materialise the project should first be put in a clearly specified form and that it should be out down to a more realistic level. 4. In a meeting with Mr. Adiseshiah on 26/11/63, he spoke to me about the project and explained that in the Conference of the Unesco National Committee, held the day before, he spoke on the need for revising the school curricula and for modernising teaching methods. He also told the Conferenoe that he was in agreement with the recently amended paper an the Unesco project. Commenting on the project, I told Mr. Adiseshiah that the project was still nebulous and that the amount of $2.5 million was te, much to expect from the Bank. He promised to speak to Mr. T. Wilson, Unesso Representative in Nigeria, and ask him to work with those concerned for producing a clear paper and to considerably reduce the amount involved. 5. on my return frm the Regions I pursued this subject further. In ... 2/ a meeting of the Ministers and Permanent Secretaries of Eduation eonvened in Lagoa by the Bureau of Extemal Aid to discuss various matters, the subjeet of the project for modemnising education was brought up. I was privately informed that thse present were not very keen en it, but in order to please Unesco and also to avoid appearing backward, they autherised the Permanent Seeretary of the Federal Uinistry of Education to study the matter further and to inquire if the Bank would consider such a request if presented. 6. The result was the attached letter, No.A/IflDk/371 of December 21, 1963 which the Permanent Secretary gave me the day before I left Nigeria. It is clear from this letter that the project is far from being finalized by the Nigerian authorities. Indeed, I have yet to be convinced that the Nigerians have made up their minds about it. 7. In my views, the time has cme to tell Unzeco in plain terns that until the Nigerians, with the help of Unesco, are able to produce a well.defined, well-conceived and realistic project there is nothing that this Division can do about it. At the same time, I suggest that a letter be sent to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education that we are unable to offer any advice on whether the Bank will consider any project on modernising education until a paper is produced spelling out, in well-defined terms, the specific aims of the project, its duration, cost and all relevant information which will enable thic Division to pass a considered judgment on it.

The Mission completed its work in Nigeria about December 22, 1963. Mr. M. Kane (Arohitet) left Lagos for Now York en the evning of Desember 19 to spend some days with his family. He is expected to report to this office early in January 196 4 . Miss Doreen Crompton and Mr. S. Burt left Lagos for Landen on the evening of December 20. Both will be in the office eariy next week. I left LagIs on the morning of eceber 22 and arrived in Washington on the same day. 2. As I reporbed to you in my letters from the field, the Mission held meetings in Paris with interested members of Unsseo Seoretariat and with the Director and staff of the International Institute of Educational Planning. In London, useful meetings were held with senior staff of the Deparoent of Technical Cooperation. 3. While in Nigeria, between November 13 and December 22, the Mission visited the four Regions as well as the Federal Territory of Lagos. Meetings were held with Pernanent Secretaries and other senior staff in the ministries of education at which all members of the Mission were present. Aside from these general meetings, members of the Mission held individual meetings with govemnt officers in various ministries and with representatives of voluntary agencies and of bilateral aid, to cover grounds of special interest. The Mission also paid official visits in Lagos to the offices of the British High Commissioner and U.S. AID and to their sub-offiees in each of the Regions. Mr. Burt and I called en the Canadian High Caaissioner and the Swedish Ambassador to discuss matters related to projects in which they might be interested. We also had meetings with the representative of the West-Gernan Embassy about the proposed Technical College at Port Harcourt, one of the projects on our list for which financial support may be forthcoming from West-melmany. Meetings were also held with Professor Skapsky, Ford Foundation Adviser en Technical Education in Nigeria. Aside from the general and individual meetings, the ission visited a good number of schools and discussed administrative and technical problems with prinoipa& and headmasterv On the whole these visits and discussions were very useful, partioularly in ehecking information given by the Ministry of Eduation. 4. In each of the Regions the Mission went over the projects prwvisionally selected and explained what information, both general and specific, should be made available~for the appraisal of esh project. The required information and sketch plans were rarely available but *amendable efforts were made in all Regions to produce a substantial volume of materials and drawings before the Mission left Nigeria. There are a few items of information which the Mission expects to be sent to Washington before the middle of next month. It is safe to say that the essential materials for the appraisal of the projects pru.- visionally selected for each Region are now in the hands of the Mission. ... 2/ - 2 40 5. On the whole them was a general aeoeptanse of the projects tentatively selected for each Region. In a few eases, ether projects were brought to the Mission's attention. Such projects were studied en their merits. The Mission has new a fairly clear picture of the projects it should reoneund for possible financing by IDA and/or the Bank. It should, however, be stated that the Mid-Westen Region, which has been established only recently and which will econdue to have a saretaker goverment until February next, was not prepared to make good use of the Mission's visit. Two projeets, originally included in the list of projects for the Western Region, were appraised. But there were other requests submitted to the Mission by the Mid4.West which were neither ready for study by the Mission nor were they of the kind whieh the Bank is ever likely to eonsider. The financing of a "Science Museu* and a "F.oating School" in areas where floods ocur are examples of such requests. In view of the special ciroum- stances of the id-Western Region, the Mission ventured the advice that if another request was to be made at some future date when conditions in that Region become stabilised, the Bank might feel inclined to consider the matter. 6. A seeond ease should also be mentioned in this repert. Of the projeets tentatively selected in Lagos Federal Territory was one relating to the expansion of seendary education. This project was dropped because the Mission was finally informed that the Ministry of Educatin was roeon.. sidering its policy on secondary education. The Federal Territory may approach the Bank at some distant date with another request concerning this proj et. 7. Of particular interest were two projects whieh in the Missionss opinion are of extreme importanee for the expansion of secondary education in the North and of teanical ednation in all the regions. The first is the Advaneed Teacher Training College in Zaria (Northern Region). This is a project in respect of which agreement was signed two years ago between U.N.Special Fund and the Nigerian Governient with Unesco as the exesuting agency. Under this agreement the Special Fund has been providing specialists on the unthtanding tat the necessary buildings would be provided as soon as possible. The College has been accommedated in temporary buildings whiah permitted it to admit its planned intake for the first class in 1962. The second year intake could not be taken as planned because of lack of aseemmodation. Furthermore, the trainees going for science teaching could not be admitted for lack of laboratory facilities. The College has threatened to interrupt its plan for admission of trainees unless the buildings proposed for the College are completed early in 1965. The output of the College is urgently needed to fill some vacant posts in existing secondary scheels and to provide tesehers to vmet the proposed expansion. The first sketeh plans for the College - drawn up by the Khartoum Unesco Sehool Construction Bureau in Afrisa - were found to cost more than the amount earmarked for the project in the Development Plan and the Bureau has recently reduced it to what the Mission considers reasonable. Special arrangements were made for MrJohlaefer of the .. .3/ Khartom Bureau to saw over to Lagos to discuss the revised sketch plans. The Principal and Vioe-Principal of the College, the PeNmannt Secretary of the Northern Ministry of Education and others were present at the meeting which proved quite useful in explaining our point of view coneeerning space allcation and other relevant matters. Some minor alterations suggested in the meeting are to be incorporated in the revised plan. What is now required is completed detailed drawings. It is hoped that everything will be ready for the invitation of tenders in March or April next. 8. The secend projeet is the National Technical Teachers' Training College, Lagos, which is designed to train instructors for Trade Schools, Craft Centres and Handicraft teaching in gramnar schools. The schedule of accommodation is ready and the Mission went over it with the Federal Adviser for Technical Edueation. Sketch Plans have been oremised to be forwarded to Washington as early as possible. It is of utmosv importane that this project be implemented as soon as possible so that it can start to produce trained instruators in time to staff trade eentres proposed to be wqpnded and new eantres to be opened in the near future. At present there are many vacaneios on the establistuents of trade seheels which have not been filled for lack of ematriates interested in wcepting appointments abroad at the salaries that are being offered. There is no way to surmount the present difficulty other than the training of Nigerian instructors to fill the vacancies and the posts to be oreated in the near future. 9. With these considerations in mind, the Nigerians were advised that they should make special efforts to start constructing the buildings of the Zaria Advanced Teacher Training College and the National Technical Teacher's Training Cellege as soon as possible beause they stand in great need of both institutions. The projects are so important, the Mission advised the Nigerians, that wo'k should be put in hand irrespective of whether the Bank would ultimately finance tem or not. Their reply was that they would be able to convinee the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds to start these two projects only if same assurance is received frm the Bank that the prospects of financing then are reasonably good. The Mission therefore strongly reommends that a suitably worded letter be sent to Nigeria stating that the Bank is quite impressed by these two projects and the need for their speedy implementation, that the two projects will be given a very high priority in the Missionts report and that, subject to the fulfilment of s*me conditions which the Bank may like to make at this stage, these tue projeets stand a good chanee of being financed by the Bank. I would like to emphasise - and in this I am voicing the opinion of the Mission - that none of the projects we have looked into are mere deserving than the two projects under discussion. 10. The project appraisal report will be eompleted by the end of February. When all the members of the Mission are back in Washington, it is my intention to start preparing, for your information, a list of the projects which the Mission will resommend in the report. I m sure that the Departent of Operations, Afriea, would like to receive a copy of the list when ready. '...A/ 11. I would like to make a few remarks which I hope will prove useful. The first is that my previous visit to Nigeria has provided me with a background which must have been useful to the Mission as a whole. The tentative list of projeets I was able to draw up and which was later passed ' to the Nigerian authorities proved invaluable in focussing the Mission's attention and must have helped the Nigerians to understand the nature of the projects which the Bank may sensider. Without that tentative list the thinking of the ministries of education would have been very diffused. The seend is that ministries of education should not be expeted to prepare any significant amount of material before the arrival of the mission to their countries. It has been my experience that the ministries of education begin to work hard when the mission is with the to ezplain what is needed. As a corollary, the mission should not Weeat, after leaving the eeuntry, to reeive any fresh materials. Officials in the ministries of edueation attend with all their effort to the needs of the mission while still with them, but they get absorbed in other urgent problems after the mission is gone. The third point is that officials in the ministries of education knew very little of what Bank missions require to appraise a prveeot, with the result that they develop the feeling that too much is being required. For example, they tend, by a rough rule of thtab, to include a lmp sum for equipment but they invariably fail to draw up a fairly exact list of requirements to justify their rough estimates. When pressed to do so, they show reluotane which ean only be eversene by pressure from these above thef. 12. I should eceelude thatwithout any emeoptionall people we met in the Regions were helpful, cooperative and extremely hospitable to the Mission. We are really grateful to them for what they have done.

Summary This application for a total grant of two and a half million dollars would provide a part of the necessary financing in foreign currencies over a five years period (per year) for undertaking an education project designed to introduce modern teaching methods into the Nigerian education system. The purpose of this would be to in- crease the efficiency of the system, to multiply its products, and to improve its quality. This programme of modernization of teaching methods and techniques is considered important in the achievement of national developmental targets and in the effective use of foreign aid. Other foreign aid agencies have expressed interest in deve- loping complementary projects along similar lines. This project is considered important in supporting, strengthening and completing the assistance to be given to Nigeria through an IBRD loan for the pur- poses of educational development. The Federal Government is prepared to carry a substantial share of the cost of this project. This con- tribution is estimated at % per year. As noted other aid agencies have expressed interest and Unesco is expected to pursue projects to a value of $ per year. The basic objective of the project being to improve the quality and efficiency of the education system, it will be expected to con- centrate on such problem areas as: 1) In-service training of teachers. 2) Teaching of science and mathematics. 3) Teaching of modern languages. 4) Adult education. 2, Background a) Ashby Report; Addis Ababa targets; 10 year plan; Wilson Report. b) Need to maintain quality with rapid expansion. a) Results overseas of improved teaching. d) Present activities in Nigeria; need for co-ordination intensification. 3. Objectives of Project Through research, study programmes and training it is planned that the project by the end of the five year period will achieve such objectives as the following, either by direct action or in co- operation with other aid agencies: i) construction of an effective system for in-service training and continued education and guidance of teachers through correspondence education, radio, refresher courses and possibly television; 2) elaboration of prototype materials for teaching of such subjects as science (including mathematics), foreign languages, and vocational subjects; . .. ./2.... -2- 3) development of such major teaching aids as itenerant laboratories; 4) development of programmed instruction courses in sciences, language arts and vocational subjects; 5) development of multi-media (film, texts, television) courses in key subjects of secondary school curriculum; 6) development of fully tested materials and courses for adult literacy. The project will a14 at co-ordinating experimental and deve- opmental work along those lines, initiating action programmes when needed either by direct action or through competent local agencies g. Institutes of Education). Though it will be expected to elop teaching material (e.g. texts, films, equipment etc.) it oroposed that the manufacture and marketing of these be left to her agencies or to private initiative. Scope of the Project * The proposed project is conceived as a nation one. It is *aver recognized that it may well have significance for other cation systems in Africa and it is suggested that the material eloped and results obtained be made generally available. It 'lso suggested that in the last three years of the project pro- sion be made for travel/study grants to other African nationals shing to study in Nigeria the work carried out under the project. Much of the work under the project will be of an experimental o- demonstrative nature, aiming to adapt overseas techniques, methods and materials to local conditions and needs. To achieve these ends controlled experiments, whose design meets with the approval of com- petent research personnel, will be conducted; demonstration projects will be set up; contracts for specific studies will be passed; pilot cxperimental projects will be organized. Description of.Project a) The project will maintain a permanent office at (Ibadan), (Lagos). b) The project will be directed by a Project Director to be appointed in agreement between the Federal Govern- ment of Nigeria, Unesco and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, The Project will be set up under Nigerian law as an Institute for Educational Materials and Teaching Methods. A Governing Council will oversee the programme to be carried out. The Council will be made up of representatives of competent Nigerian authorities, Unesco, the IBRD and other in- terested foreign aid agencies (US-AID Ford Foundation, Nuffield Foundation). It is expected that the project will also be able to call on the experience and advice of such overseas institutions as Educational Services Inc, (MIT), the Centre for Programmed Instruction (New York), the National Science Foundation, the B.B.C. c) It is proposed that IBRD assistance cover a period of five years to permit proper experimentation, develop- mental possibilities and to allow for the evolution of curriculum changes at the primary and secondary levels. 6.

CABLE ADDRESS: FRANBOOK, NEW YORK 432 PARK AVENUE SOUTH, NEW YORK 16, N.Y. 4 TELEPHONE: MURRAY HILL 3-2500 December 13, 1963 Mr. Ahmed Tuqan International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 1818 H Street, N.W. Washington 25, D.C. Dear Mr. Tuqan: I am writing you because of your participation in the mission to Nigeria but I am also sending a copy to Duncan Ballantine w n Mw to be interested in educational development in all countries. My colleague, Alden Clark, vice-president in charge of our African programs, is in Nigeria at the moment, and he has written me of the plan he understands to be forming for Bank help to Nigeria in transforming a number of grammar schools into comprehensive schools. And I think from what you told me in advance of your own trip that the Bank's interest in Nigerian educational development may well comprehend activity in other educational fields also -- perhaps including assistance in providing the books that are so desperately needed. And -- unlike the situation that was faced in connection with the Afghan project we discussed with you earlier -- there may not be so many high-level policy obstructions to contend with. At all events, we wanted you to know that we are positively going ahead with a Nigerian project, and I should think there might be ways of our working along parallel and possibly identical lines. We will be glad to let you know what we plan, if that would be useful to you; and Alden Clark will be home at the end of next week with the final scheme. We are reasonably certain of Ford Foundation support for the basic undertaking, but I think the organization thus created may well be able to undertake specific projects implementing the things requiring accomplishment according to your own plans. I recall that you and Duncan told me that, under certain circumstances, the Bank was at least theoretically prepared to make grants to non-profit organizations for educational CAIRO + BEIRUT 4 BAGHDAD - TEHRAN 4 TABRIZ + LAHORE 4 DACCA 4 KUALA LUMPUR 4 DJAKARTA 4 -2- projects; and, in addition, there may well be need for certain capital projects in the pinting field for which loans from one or another of the Bank's units might help provide financing. But even if, for some reason, it does not seem likely that the Bank will be able to help Franklin's project in financial ways, we would be glad to share with you any information we have that might be useful. Because of your interest in the Afghan project, I am glad to tell you that it is going through, with initial capital financing of a modest sort supplied from the Asia Foundation but basically a self-sustaining operation that will be supported by Afghanistan itself. The agreement we signed in Kabul a few weeks ago was for ten years, and generally along the lines described to you earlier. That information is not secret, but no formal announcement has been issued as yet, so for courtesy to the Afghans I would be grateful if you would kindly use the information discreetly in the next few weeks.

In xy last letter I maentioned samething about Lagos. This letter will deal with Wester and Mid-Westeor Regions. In the Westani Region we had our usual meetings with senior officials in the Ministry of Eduation. Our first task was to make them take a more realistic attit'ude tovard the projects to be recsmanded for possible financing by the Bank. We succeeded in making them drop sase expensive and really useless projects which they had originally included in their list. Then, we started to tell them about the infoviation they should produce to support the projects which we tentatively selected. The required information will be sent to us to Lagos and we shall receive it before we leave Nigeria. Anong the projects aelemted by us and which we shall recouend are 3 Trade Schools. I consider thuR good projects. Then we have the provision of laboratories and rorkshops for scm secondary gramuar schools (First - Fifth class) and some modern schools. The selected grarerar schools will also be expanded to have more streams. The last project is the Dommetic Science Teacher Traning. Things in the West are not rosy financially. This Region has permitted primary education to become universal and free. Of the Region's total budget, 42% is absorbed for education. The country is going bankrupt. It is for this and other reasons that we felt we should tighten the screws in the Wetern Region. It is our considered opinion that thl Region cannot absorb more than we have selected for thot. Before we left the Western Region, we visited now modern secondary schools (they ran frox Secondary one to 9econdary three), some gratmar schools and 2 Trade Centres. T think we have with us a clear picture of the situation. From Tbadan, the Capital of the Western Region, we went to the Mid-estern Region which was created only last August. The Mid-West decided to separate from the West when the latter developed into a bankrupt country. Asking for more than the Western Region could ever give thm, the Mid- Westerners started to feel that they have been deliberately neglected. A leader of the opposition woriked toward having the "id-Westerners run their own show and finally susceeded. -2 The Mid-Weat has yet to have its govemrnent, its representative bodies and has also to organize its own governuent departments. Even the establisahment warrants for the government officers now working have yet to be issued. Elections will take place in January. It is not before March that the Mid-West will have a semblance of a governRent. Since the would-be leaders and policy-makers are not yet on the scene, we considered it more practical and realistic not to plunge into any project which touches new grounds. We did not lose sight o f the fact that any new project which we may now identify may not be accepted by the prospective govermont. wise choice of the projects which cannot possibly be changed by the future goverment in therefore imperative. This is what we think we have achieved. The Peranent, Secretary of Education, a very wise man, immediately saw our point of view and agreed with it. The projects which the Kid-West has prepared for us contained a science musem;and floating schools, because soe parts of this Region are flooded during the rainy season ard the inhabitants abandon their houses during that period. Schools are closed when. the floods are on. There are other "fanmy projects which we have driven out of their minds. What we have selected was one Trade Contra, te development of some gremmar schools which require laboratories and workshops and one project which particularly appealed to us. tt is the cvciznent 7do Secondary School (fenir) which they intend to trmnsfer from its present inadequate ard confined premises to a new site which thry have already acquired. ITn other words, this School will develop to become the govenment secondary school in the capital of the Fgion. In fact, t1 T~Edlo Lohool (they call it College) was selected when the MiC;-Weat was still with the est. We found that there is a concensus of opinion that this project has a good chance of success. ITn view of what I have explained in the preceding paragraphs concerning the present fluid condition in the Mid-West, we considered it necessary to tell the inistry of Lducation thai our advice to them is to come back to the Bank in one or two more years with a fresh request quoting as a reason for doing so that when our lission was visiting their country, the Region was only newly born. The Bank may take this point into account and may see its way to send a smal Mission to look at ao% new projects which they may like to put up for consideration. I should add that for the Mid-West, we have done our best to get whatever information is available and we have identified projects which in our opinion would prove acceptable to the Bank. Considering the state of affairs prevailing in this newly created iiegion, T do not think that we have done badly. Please revwibsr kindly to my colltagues in the RIAvision. Despite all hardships of travel, bad food and acconoodation, I colstuer it very lucky that no member of the Mission has fallen sick. It is a lission with a strong stsina, including yelf.

Miss Crompton, World Bank Mission on EBucation, c/o Mr. J..C. Thornton, Bureau of External Aid, Federal Ministry of Education, Lagos. Dear Miss Crompton, I am enclosing schedules which go some way to providing the figures you ask for, even if not very far. They refer in the main to the year 1962/62, but more recent events have been illowed to modify them when within vW knowledge. Figures for earlier years are, I fear, beyond recovery, and I cannot give arqthing for the Northern Region comparable to these schedules. I must again emphasise that the acuracy of the figures varies from firm returns, through estimates, to guesswork, and should not be given more reliance than this implies. There is some ground for everything put down, and explanatory notes are appended regarding the more uncertain items. In general I think the figures are underestimated rather than overestimated. An intangible but nevertheless extremely valuable contribution by the Voluntary Agencies to education all over the Federation is their ability to recruit staff, often through church-related organisations overseas, and by the fladbility given by their operating mazy schools to seoure for azV one school suitable staff* For community schools this is a particularly intractible problem.

Gal. Those figures are approximations only. Thqy are based on aeour4t figures where these are available, but sometimes no figures are available at all. In such mases informed guesses have been made. The method of sampling has been followed, and the sample taken as average, and multiplied by a factor to give the cost for the amaber of schools under oonsidartion. No figures are given for Northern Nigeria. One or two commnts regarding that region may be of some use i) There are in the Northern Region "unassisted" primary schools receiving no grantia-naid from the Goverment, supported entirely bg the church, possibly with community assistance or with some inoomegfees* (ii) There is onsiderable support for education at all levels from "Nssions," i.e. from overseas sources, in the Northern Region: examples are (a) the maintenance of an expatriate schools supervisor for whom the total government grant is a token pqyment of 258 per year, (b) one Mission puts i.,5 0 0 a year directly into Primary schools, (o) a teachi college is maintained completely, i.e. with NO government grant in any form, (d) boarding facilities are provided at central primary schools. (iii) Nigeria ohurch funds are also involved., e.g. 50% of the cost of St. Faith's Girls' High School at Kaduna has been provided by the Anglican Diocese. P-4Imur 1. Housing of teachers. Where the church provides a house rent free to a teacher, it is assumed to aking a contribution equal to the sum that would be paid, and is in fact paid in maqy cases, where the church does not own enough houses. 2. Primary School Buildings in Lagos, This, like mawy other figures, is probably heavily underestimated. It is however only intended to represent the cost of elA school buildings, as all the new schools have been built at 100% cost to government. 3. Extra staff. Missionary teachers, burars, or secretaries for whou no government grant is received, paid for from church sources, fligeriakor overseas. 4.* Secondary School Buildings in Lagos. Much the wae situation as in 2 above. In all capital valuations nothing is included for buildings paid for by government grant, e.g. a high school costing for which 50% capital grant was received is valued at 60,000 .220,000 for these schedules, though by legal title the whole of the property is owned by the Church. 5, Ednational buildings supplied 100% by government. 6, Cash support for primary schools in the Western Region. In thee this should be Nil;* in fact ane agency reportFA7,000. In the situation caused by the non-mpqment of "other expenses grants" by local oouncils this figure could be many times what is given. 7. This is an attempt to set a value on work done and materials supplied voluntarily in the maintenance of school buildings of all types. 8* This is an attempt to cover small grants made to schools to allow them to operate in default of "other expenses grants.' 9. Other expenses grants payments in the Region are in arrears to the figure of 200,000. It is assumed that 100,000 of this is owed to Protestant Agencies who have maintained the schools in very many cases by advancing church funds. A figure of interest is included, though I know of no case where it is actually charged* 10. Me newen schools are not eligible to receive grant-ca-aid until after their fifth year, if then, and church contributions to their maintenmace are heavier than in the older schools* 11. Scholarships in secondary schools, largely in the form of Ve"Jai4S of fees, made up from Qhurch resources. 12. There are no grants-in-aid made to 8eoondary Modern Schools. The only grants received are, in a few cases, speial purposes grants to provide specialist commercial olaswoems and typewriters or specialist woodwork shops and tools. 13. The first 200 Secondary Modern Schools receivoed Opital building grants. Over 400 built since then have been provided entirely from church and community sources. These figures are for all secondary RUdern SohoolL Protestant Schools are about 50 which received capital building grant and 240 which did not. U4. Scholarships under Teacher Training are payents made for students in advanod teacher training in ocurses in universities, advanced teacher training colleges, and other institutions. Thw may destined to teach in a type of school. Nany are sponsored by boards of governors of secondary schools. 15. Thms are two oolleges built entirely without capital grant. 16. The senior primary schools in the Eastern Region in rural areas are on the verge of collapse, if they have not already been closed down. Nan are heavily in debt to the Agena,, and it is fpossible to estimate how much of these debts will turn in permanent subsidies. The figure given is probably much too low. 17. See No. 9. The advances from ohurch funis in the East IfPring from Local Councis defaulting en "assumed local contributions instead of "other expenses grants' but the effects are even more disastrous. 0000 A. nngmm.m 3,aat (39 Sahoo) Cash emi lbatssn A^d hatin Coo 39 X 20 -780 mouffua cc teaca(3 50 x tam ()) 5,0o Sahoow hdn~a g (2) 40000 Tftdmftt heawe 1o 50 1sc A,25000 2. l. g m (S *WAl) Csh swrtributsow 4000 *asea(1tmr (5) 6000 m ve 004 a2st.00 musng of teaimWs 0 I 9O 2,QO Sace baAiW (4) 400*, TuAews hames 2U A 0 43o0O .abww @ S)ho*'). * o t 8 a htYAMS t t tash 3 X20 300 behosaMa bv sta2 fawj Tters* limesa* x400N C.wea.h cnstr.tions ~ asa Af. atrative oosts ) Pvz* nso tftas (2 X A,0 00 C*egemm bWLI s ,5) (U) Tehwaf be sa0,0 2t A5 () 1,000 36 un ftn a---a ooxssi~o c&batir+ibutionst (6)0 1 3 0,000 Rq;0rs and s-oemas IOW 0nn =0 6,0,pO ifwet m loas ZavM,at 4% () 00 3,000 tueias hous 0 A000 40 2,~ (80 woeas) Cosb -*-t,-=- 40 e 0 M ,VOO 40 0 ames (10) 40000 pxtsa 0X3t (3) 12,000 NOSUWsa of ebaro eouzcw6 U,40- A-emiast-at oastil 80 XC2 2s000 Sch"Odah) O 4X00 (1) 8,001 22 sds at 4V0,000 1000,00D 25 0 z 50*000 xamn 33 4SdAW0 825,000 0aa- (2) 5,000 ZP4Pdw SIA VeM utSZ7 I x Am 5,000 IUaStaS of tenao* SM0 X Z30 25,000 Abdidetrafte 00st 290 X -= 5,800 Seaaar"ss 290ISo 50 24,50 50 bsi ba. t wiS. sWa A. - 2W * U = 480 str- sA 1000 (13) WAG 240 X HOU3t 22*00 t000 N.s.. 22* 600 0 L muea in seeada *44 swo 5. s(shool) nas ett *m.haa3 X 60 Rio (sd aaz ta a alas*,0Na 3Imvssszg 1,2002 Pmain at tmhg3x0 Im8 a stsr (3) 38000 Xa u0 24000 r 3 tHosws x s 1#2. 00 3o ,000 2 at 4*,000 (25) 200,0@o 4 at 400,000 ( 40% o*nk) a 4 I 40,000 260000 28 0Z %# 000 ) 28 X 20,O00 0,000 1 in 5 at the s5he,0 is 0.0=4 o moda w" xfmge at =00 a yoe 43D X 400 (26) 86,000 R "sxA v' ut"7 labow * 2D UsOW, Utasr* an lom $% an g ,U0 (17) 3,200 ftus r of tmam 8000 0 &-0 160,000 A-drd sWWU wAts 2150 X 40 23U,000 43e"a ms@ 12 In ftu, um3 s. 8,000 a Am l6.oMo, A gaaae nam enx 5 eel.

Y/gs TBADAN - WETER NMIIEIA Dec. 1, 1963. Dear fdcardot- This is my second letter to you. We are now in Tbadan and about reedy to move from the Wester to tae Mid-Western Region. Since my reporting has so far been in retrospect T should begin with what we did in Lagos. As you rmzober, Lagos has projects for the training of technical teahers and the development of ssoondary education. The Project for the Advanced Teahnical Training College is well docmented and Burt is satisfied with the materials that have been put before him. The big question is whether or not it has a top priority. We have still to make up our mindal but I m quite inclined to consider this project as worthy of Bank financing. But this is not or final view as yet. With regard to the second project, the dwelopment of secondary education in Lagos Territory, we found that very little material is available. The Minister has yet to decide what secondary schools he likes to develop. We had to leave this oroblam in ministerial hands. We prepared schedules for them to fill and give to us befor. we leave Nigeria. My impression is that the Federal Ministry of Mfucation, with duo respect to some coepetent persons we found, is everything but federal. Iven as far as the territory was conc erned, we found that things are not so well in-hand. But there is keen intereat at the federal level in what is being done in the Regions, which interest is not reciprocated by the regions themelves vis-a-vis their relations with the Federal inistry. While in Lagos, we were presented with the project inspired by Unewo, for modemnising teaching methods in Ageria. You no donbt rourber the Project to which I am referring. It is the one in whiah PDougall has the role of god-father. The skeleton of the projest prepared by .asmed Unesco was considerably amended by the Federal Ministry of 1ducation with the result that the cost over five years sprang up frm the already high unt of $1.5 million (as originally conceived by Unesco) to $2.5 mill. as imnnded by the Federal inistry of EOucation. The number of experts involved is so high that it will prove impossible to reouit. The Nigerian counterparts will equally be difficult to find. Beside, the project l.aks definitiveness. It is so diffused that it does not render itself easily for incorporation in our report as a step to reommund it for extended technical assistance. T told the Bureau of T"xternsl Aid about my cosents and they prebad to discuss the matter further with us on our return to lagos from the Regions. When in Lagos, we had dinner with Mr. Adeseshia who was visiting Nigeria. The dinner was at Mr. Caustin' s house. Adeseshia, who had just retarned frm the worthemrI gion was full of the Project of "Advawad Teacher Training College" at Zaria. He asked the Yission t-o sit down with him to discuss this project. T started by telling him that we wom sorry to find that the Vhartow Centre had produced a costly plan which was not accepted by the Northern I-egion and which had to be modifted and cut down. I also told him that it was a great pity in a way that the Khartoum Center was ever involved in this project, and that it would have been better if a private architectur1 fim had been engaged to undertake the production of the -lans and the costing. 'J agrT e comletely and owo.nted that the engagment of the Khartoum Crntre shtolld never have been permitted. T pointed out to him that we found ourselves helpless in getting schedules of accommodation, sketch plans and cost estimates because all the information and materials were in Khartoum and that nothing should be expected before the end of January. Thin, T ->otntsid out, was unfortunate because we oculd not wait that long. He therefore decided to cable the Khartom architects to come over to Lagos to net us for discussion. This meeting is now fixed for December 15. It is hoped that we shall be able to get the "schedule of asco odation" so as to be able to put up the oroject for consideration by the dank. Tt is a great pity that this good project should be permitted to suffer for lack of infornation concering Its estimated cost. I shall do my utmost to rsmsdy the deficiencles. The next morning Adeseshia wanted to see me for further talk. T guessed It was about te project for modernising education in Nigeria, which actually proved to be the case. After explaining the importance of the project, its worthiness for technical assistance frm the Bank, he inquired what I thought about it. I emplained that as it stood now, after its revision by the Federal Ministry of :ducation, i hac lost every chance of being recomvended to the Banic as a project worthy of a grant. He summed it when T told him that it was too diffused. T replied that it was my wish that somebody could put it up as concisely as he did. With regard to cost, he thought that it could be considerably reduced. Finally, he suggested that I should meet with the Unesco ,epresentative (Thomas Wilson) and agres with him about the lines on which the project should be modified to make it acceptable to the Bank. Frankly T a disappointed that this project has been permitted to 7o so astray. Adeseshia insisted that T should see him in Paris about this project and about Zaria, Advanced reacher Training College. Uneseco seem to attach great importance to these two projects. As the executive agency for Zaria, there is no wonder that Unesco would like to see the Zaria project through. What T do not like about the project for modernising teaching is that Unesco seems to base it on the fact that without it, the money which the Bank Wq put into Nigerian education will not have its full ixpact. I cannot disagree morel I am determined to follow this project till the very end with a view to adopt it or drop it. I know it is difficult for you to advise as on this problon of moderising teaching in Nigeria. The Nat'onal Unesco Committee which .. .3/ -3- Adeseshia came to migeria to attend had it on its agenda. If you can drop e & line con.orang this project it would be a great help. I should not conclude this letter wi thout touching on the subject of Western Wieria. This Is where we have found the best preparation. Unfortunately, this is also the Region where education has grown into a veritable monsteit t ask. your forgiveness .br this statomntL We have spent a Eood deal of time this Sunday swoxing talkin about the West nigeria prajets. The more we talked about the oubjsct., -he more tiu "aoneterO looked more frightful. With primary education almat universal, with the problei on the hands of govexiuent what to do with primary school leaves, expansion of secondary education as envisaged in estern Wigeria, would only make the problem take another shape. To-orrw norning we shall have a full-dress =aeting with the Permannt Fecretary; a very clever, able and dedicated man. - iutind to confront then with the problem and recive their reaction.

The mission expects to be in Nigeria until about December 23, 1963. 2. The educational projects which have been tentatively selected for appraisal were communicated to you in Mr. John Williams' letter dated July 31, 1963. The first duty of the mission is to appraise these projects and their state of read- iness for possible financing. 3. The mission will wish to hold meetings with Federal and Regional Ministries of Education, of Finance, and of Public Works. They expect also to met with Voluntary Agencies, local education authorities and bi-lateral aid agencies and managers of industries. They will visit government and assisted and non-assisted schools to acquaint tiemselves with the curricula and their application and with the administration of the schools which they will be able to visit. 4. It is the mission's intention to fly to Kaduna immediately after arrival at Lagos and spend some days visiting schools and institutions in the Northern Region. Because some senior of- ficers in the Ministry of Education, Northern Region, will be away from Nigeria after November 15 it has become necessary to arrange for an early visit to the Northern Region. On couple- Mr. E. 0. Ogbu - 2 - November 1, 1963 tion of the visit to the Region, the mission plans to return to Lagos for contacts and discussions after which they will arrange their schedules of visits to the other Regions in consultation with the competent authorities in Lagos. 5. Details of these other visits will be communicated to each Region after the mission's return to Lagos from the Northern Region, if not a little earlier. I should very much appreciate it if each Ministry of Education could provide motor transport to enable the mission to visit schools and institutions in each Region. 6. I am sure that the mission will receive every assistance from your Ministry and from all the other official bodies with whom they have to make contacts. I am sending copies of this letter to the Ministries of Finance and Education in each of the Regions as well as to the Federal inistry of Education. Yours sincerely, W '. VouSsa Pierre L.

As I indicated to you, you should by all means meet and visit with Dr. and Mrs. Sodiende. Mrs. Sodiende is Educational Adviser for Shell B. P. and her office is downtown Lagos. Everyone at the USAID Mission knows her. Our activities are under the jurisdiction of the USAID Mission. The Director of the Mission is Mr. Joel Bernstein, the Chief of the Education Section is Dr. Clifford Liddle, and the Chief of our section is Dr. Richard Rider. We have been involved in establishing educational media facilities in Ministries of Education, Agriculture, and Health in the Western Region and Eastern Region and are now also working with the Ministry of Education and Ahmado Bello University in northern Nigeria. At the present time our activities are essentially in the area of production, but we would very much appreciate the opportunity to extend these services into the area of curriculum development. It is my feeling that new media designed and produced for specific purposes in the curriculum may have considerable value in supporting teachers in service with the tasks that they have to perform. Again, I want to thank you for your hospitality to me during the past week and to wish you every success during your forthcoming trip to Nigeria. Sincerely yours, Warren D.

Dear Sir, The World Bank - International Bank for Reconstruction and Development - has received an application from the Goverment of Nigeria for an IDA development credit to assist educational development. A Mission has therefore been formed, comprising Mr. S.J.G. Burt, a specialist in technical education; Mr. M.M. Kane, an architect, and myself. A fourth member will soon be appointed to deal with the budgetary and fiscal side of the Missionts work. In Nigeria are comprehensive schools and secondary modern schools, and it would be of great value to the work of the Mission if its members could see a typical comprehensive school and r. secondary modern school in the London area. All members of the Mission will be in London on Tuesday, 12th November, 1963, and I am therefore writing to ask if it would be possible for you to arrange visits to schools of the types mentioned above during the morning and afternoon of 12th November. Your assistance with this request would be greatly appreciated, and we should all be most grateful if school visits could be arranged on the day suggested.

These have given me a verb much clearer view of the approach you have adopted to the assistance of educational development in such countries as tbis. I will, of course, regard them as confidential. The questionnaire, although in your view a minimum require- ment, does seem to me a rather difficult document for a develop- ing country to complete satisfactorily.

Your Excellency, Permit me to take the liberty of addressing this letter to you in connection with the forthcoming IDA Mission which will soon visit Nigeria to appraise some educational projects, Mr. Hugh Ripman, of this Bank, who had the pleasure of meeting you recently in Annecy, advised me that it would be most useful if arrangements could be made to meet you to discuss questions of interest to the Mission. As chief of the Mission, I feel that I and my colleagues will find it extremely useful if we may be given the opportunity of meeting you to discuss questions of interest to us. On our way to Nigeria toward the end of this month we plan to stop in Paris for meetings with Unesco and I can easily arrange to come over to Brussels to meet you. Toward the end of March I paid a visit to Nigeria which lasted about 10 days, during which I tried to make a preliminary assessment of the most essential needs of the country in the education sector. But there are some questions on which I would like a distinguished citizen of the country, like yourself, to express opinion for my enlighteno. ment. Aside from the question of determining the most essential educational needs of the country on which your personal opinion would be most useful, I would also like to hear your views on secondary and other post-primary types of education, on school fees, voluntary agencies, university education and similar subjects. I shall, therefore, be obliged if you will inform me whether you will be in Brussels between October 29 and November 2nd. I shall let you know the exact date of my arrival in Brussels a little later this month. Meanwhile, may I hear from you whether you will be available to meet me.

Smiths Many thanks for your letter to me concerning the teaching of Arabic in Nigeria. I have recently received Mr. 'elim Iakim's report. I azn almost half-through with it. I shall return it to you as soon as I have finished reading it. One of the sore and exasperating points is the almost negligible work which has been done by Arab educators on the teaching of Arabic to their own children, not to mention foreigners. That there is a great need of study is very evident to me. There are attempts here and there at writing primers for Arab Children but they have never been put to any systematic test. What is really needed, concerning Nigeria, and possibly all non-Arab Moslem countries where Arabic is taught as a second language, is a book which does not follow the obsolete methods of teaching the language. It should be a well graded book which starts with simple sentences along the lines of Fnglish primers used in Arab schools. Such books have proved their worth. It should not be a difficult undertaking to write similar books for beginners in Nigerian schools. After these books are tested and revised they can easily be adapted for use in other countries. I shall make a point of visiting the Kano School of Arabic studies. I shall also call on 'allam Shehu and have a chat with him.

The list is tentative and the mission Is at liberty to choose other projects in addition and to alter the list if it proves necessary. There are two other docuwants which may interest you. One is a long and elaborate questionnaire which the Bank had prepared be- fore the Education Division was establishel. I remember telling you that the Under-Secretary of Education in Afghanistan remarked that if they could supply all the information required in the question- naire, they would cease to be a developing country. But this ques- tionnaire continues to be the official document until our Division produces another. However, there is a brief questionnaire which I drew up and which I consider to be the minimam. Though not yet of- ficially adopted by our Division, I forwarded a copy of it to Mr. Eberley in the hope that when the mission arrives in Nigeria, at least that much information will be ready to work on.

Background Facts. The project would implement directly the objectives of AID as set forth in the AID Policy Directive No. 12 dated 17 September 1962. Franklin Publications has had ten years of experience in this sort of work in developing countries, as described in the accompanying pamphlet, and has an impressive record of achievement in its nine exist- ing operations. About 1,500 titles in 26,000,000 copies have appeared under its sponsorship in half a dozen languages. It is the only organization in the world devoted exclusively to book work in develop- ing countries, and its non-political credentials and performance have enabled it to continue with colors flying when almost all other American activities have been forced to close down, e.g. in Iraq at the nadir of American-Iraqi relations. -2- In every country the policy of staffing Franklin offices exclusively with local nationals, of having local selection of the books to be published, of printing and publishing with local firms, and of makirg the strengthening of a local book industry a major objective--all of these policies have enlisted the spirited support of outstanding leaders in civic and intellectual life in each of the countries. Cabinet ministers, even prime ministers and presidents, have been active participants in Franklin projects as translators, writers, and editors. The Franklin project comes to be regarded as "theirs" rather than "ours," and the most gratifying of all the results is the way in which indigenous local institutions are created to carry out func- tions initially assumed by Franklin. This plan for a Franklin project in Nigeria is based on a wealth of information, interpretation, and recommendation acquired by Franklin in the course of three surveys in Nigeria and extensive consultation A th American, Federation, and Regional officers as well as with the intellectual leaders in all parts of Nigeria and with American students of Nigerian life and affairs. The first study was by Byron Buck, Franklin's textbook consultant, in 1960. The second, in 1961, was by William E. Spaulding, president of Houghton Mifflin Co. and of the American Book Publishers Council, and former president of the American Textbook Publishers Institute; and by Datus C. Smith, Jr., president of Franklin, former director of Princeton University Press. The latest and most extensive survey, in the fall of 1962, was by the Messrs. Spaulding and Smith, plus Simon Michael Bessie, president of Atheneum Publishers and former General Editor of Harper & Brothers. -3- Nigeria & West Africa Besides Nigeria, the West African countries that have been visited include Ghana and (in much less detail) Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cameroun, Ivory Coast, Guinee, and Senegal. The path is so clear in Nigeria, and the outlook so promising, that this project for Nigeria is presented separately and on its own merit. It should be stated, however, that numerous suggestions for a regional project have been made, and that Franklin is greatly interested in possible later work along that line, For the immediate future, however, the prospect is so bright in Nigeria (and, in a different way, in Ghana, for which country a separate presentation is being made to the AID mission in Accra) that we urge immediate implementation of two one-country plans which might later be modulated into a regional undertaking. Need and Desire for a Franklin Program. Except in a very few expatriate quarters--and even there Franklin found a remarkable degree of encouragement and commendation--there appeared to be clear recognition of the need for book development along Franklin lines and active desire to have Franklin undertake the work. Every thinking Nigerian recognizes that command of the ability to read is the basis of education and hence of all economic as well as intellectual advance in the country. The part that Franklin could play in the strictly educational field naturally received primary attention from most commentators: improved printed materials for the teaching of reading, teachers manuals, simple general-reading matter for new literates, etc. It is assumed that the center of gravity of Franklin work would be in such fields. But at the same time there is a need and desire in Nigeria for a strong indigenous book-publishing industry to bring out a wide variety of supplementary and general books, both L4- those by local authors and reprinted books from American, British, or other sources. For reasons presented in detail in the report of last year's Franklin survey ("Books for Ghana and Nigeria," 15 January 1962), and increasingly supported by linguistic scholars and students of African education on that and other continents, it is believed that simple supplementary-reading books in the major vernaculars can greatly accelerate the child's reading skill in English. A generation hence the situation will be entirely different, when many Nigerian children will come to school from English-speaking families. At present, however, the overwhelming majority arrive at school knowing a language (the mother tongue, whatever, it may be) through the ear. To throw away that priceless educational asset would seem tragic. Learning to read is not a difficult task if the language is already knownand the skills acquired in learning to read the mother tongue can be transferred to English if aural instruction in that language begins with the beginning of schooling. But--and this is the heart of the question of vernaculars in relation to English--the child must have reading material that challenges his interest and, by leading him on, makes possible the exercise and expansion of his newly acquired talent. It is economically unfeasible to provide such reading material in all the minor vernaculars, but in Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa it is economically feasible and in all other ways practical also. It should be said in passing that both psychologically and politically it is necessary for Nigerians to retain school use of those three main vernaculars in one way or another, and the acceptance of any American-sponsored book program would be far more easily achieved if it included some work in vernaculars. But the educational argument -5- in the preceding paragraph is sufficient in itself for the immediate period. Franklin would therefore intend at least some publications in the three main vernaculars, but taking care that they were wisely chosen to attract and hold the interest of beginning readers, whether schoolchildren or adult new literates; and that simple reading material in English was likewise available. Ability to read English is the key objective. The kind of publishing discussed thus far would fall chiefly in a "regular program." But, in addition, we see many opportunities for "special projects" producing materials specifically for experimental projects in the teaching of reading, in disseminating agricultural or health information, in aiding development of school libraries, etc. A special project which Franklin might carry out (as far as the publishing aspects were concerned) in association with an educational group might relate to the teaching of reading, including evaluation of the vernacular-English hypothesis suggested above. Other book projects might relate to vocational training, middle-level manage- ment training, etc. Basic to all of the above activities, however, would be Franklin's main job of encouraging and aiding development of an indigenous Nigerian book-publishing industry, with on-the-ground consultants and foreign training in all of the phases of book work, from editing through printing, publication, and distribution. Nigerian Endorsement The 1961 Franklin survey had been devoted entirely to discussions.. with Federal officials (Permanent Secretary, Federal Adviser, Bureau of External Aid, etc.) and to study of the particular needs and desires of the Western Region. This time, accordingly, more time was assigned to the East and North. The two visits taken together gave clear evidence of endorsement from all of the Ministries concerned, both Federal and Regional. It was unfortunate that absence abroad of certain officers prevented direct discussion with all of the top authorities during the 1962 visit, especially as some had been among our most useful and enthusiastic adivsers before. We believe, however, that investigation will confirm enodrsement of the Franklin idea in the Federal Ministry of Education and in each of the Regional Ministries of Education, Ministries of Information, and (in the North in connection with the mass literacy campaign) the Division of Public Enlightenment. Similar endorsement will be found at the University College Ibadan, University of Ife, University of Nigeria at Nsukka, and Ahmadu Bello University at Zaria. All of the vice-chancellors and numerous other high officers promised support. (Dr. Dike and Dr. Johnson were consulted on previous trips but not the most recent one.) Almost every Nigerian book publisher of importance was interviewed, the leading booksellers in each Region, and most of the leading printers. Representative government and church schools were visited to see how reading is taught and the physical conditions under which it has to be carried out. Extensive discussions were held with intellectual and cultural leaders such as Speaker Gwandu of the Northern House of Assembly because of his presidency of the Northern Cultural Society and Alhaji Coomassie, permenant secretary of the Ministry of Establishments, in connection with the same group. The able and effective Eastern Region Librarian, Kalu Okorie, and Denis Spiby, the acting Regional Librarian in the North, were very helpful. Leading -7- figures nQt professionally concerned with education but patriotically intorested in it have given similar encour-agement, including people such as Chief Taiwo, permanent secretary of the Western Ministry of Agriculture, and writers such as Ekwensi and Achebe. Especially in connection with possible experimental projects in the teaching of reading, long talks were held with Dr. Babs Fafunwa, director of the School of Education at Nsukka, and with Dr. Andrew Taylor, director of the Institute of Education at UCI; briefer discussion of the subject was held with Mr. Ogunsola, principal of the Kano Training College which plans, later on, to get into research projects, and with Dr. Alexander, vice-chancellor at Ahmadu Bello University which hopes its institute of education will be able to undertake research before long. To complete the record, it should perhaps be recorded that the Franklin surveyors had discussions with many Americans specially informed about Nigeria. Those seen in Nigeria, both official and unofficial, included not only AID officers in Lagos and the Regions but the Ambassador, several USIS officers, members of the Michigan State team at Nsukka, the Peace Corps director in the North, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, African-American Institute, the Arthur D. Little Co., the American Institute of Research, and many wise individuals. It is of possible interest to note, also, that Franklin has taken considerable pains to maintain good relations with the British--both book publishers and expatriate officials in Nigeria, as well as official representatives of the United Kingdom. Beginning in London before the survey team's arrival in Nigeria, good talks were held with Sir Andrew Cohen, deputy minister of the Department of Technical Cooperation; J.E.Morpuvgo, of the National Book League; Ronald Barker of the Publishers Association; Roy Thompson, new owner of the Mirror group of newspapers and of Thomas Nelson & Son; and Mark Longman of Longmas Green. This was useful in ending in at least those quarters the mis- conception that Franklin was launching an anti-British plot. In Nigeria there were even more gratifying talks with Lord Head, the British High Commissioner, with Andre Deutsch of African Universities Press, and with an outstanding group of highly placed expatriate officals of the Nigerian government: Andrew Taylor at UCI; W.R.Taylor in the Ministry of Education in Enugu; Ronald Bird, acting provincial secretary at Kano; and his designated successor, D.J.M.Muffett; J.W.Chamberlain in the Ministry of Education in Kaduna; Christine Nuttall, the British Council teacher of English in Kaduna, etc. The London, Lagos, Ibadan, and Enugu officers of Longman's Green and the London and Lagos representatives of African Universities Press went far out of their way to manifest eagerness to cooperate with Franklin. To summarize: Franklin surveyors in 1962 visited (in some cases second or third visits) Lagos, Ibadan, Nsukka, Enugu, Onitsha, Kano, Zaria, Kaduna. In almost every case among the many dozen people interviewed, there was enthusiastic support for the Franklin plan. The only negative reactions were from one or two minor expatriate educators, and from one or two booksellers with no desire to upset thdr comfortable situations by an adventurous seeking after new markets. Elements Required for a Franklin Program Franklin is not itself a publisher. It is, rather, a stimulator, organizer, and technical assister of indigenous book-publishing. Aside from financial support, mentioned in a later section, the following are the elements required to make a Franklin program possible, -9- and a comment on the prospect of finding each in Nigeria: 1. Franklin Personnel. Franklin has always followed a policy of having its operating offices staffed entirely by nationals of the local country. The key to success in any country is the ability and character of the local manager, who selects the rest of the local staff. Two outstanding Nigerians are being considered for the position of Nigerian manager at the present time, and if it proves possible to get either of them they are sure to rank among the best in the entire Franklin organization. If the right man can be found to head the Nigerian program we believe there is no question of ability to find others of high competence to work with him. American specialists and consultants can of course be supplied on a temporary basis when and as desired. In other Franklin operations such specialists have included advisers on textbook editing, printing, and distribution. 2. Printing Facilities. Nigerian printing capacity at the present moment is not desperately far behind immediate needs. But the projected need, even just a year or two in the future, shows that a great increase in in printing capacity will be required. For the moment there are adequate facilities for the atart of a Franklin program, in spite of inefficient management of several of the largest plants. The Ibadan plant of Caxton West Africa Ltd. is a new British-Nigerian book plant, and the management apparently plans expansion to meet increasing needs. The plant of John Okwesa in Lagos is well regarded. The Nigerian National Press in Lagos and government plants in the Regions represent substantial capacity. A smaller plant, the Eastern Nigerian Printing Co. in Enugu, seems well run. There are a number of lively small plants in Onitsha. The church presses in Port Harcourt are 10- well spoken of and there are apparently others in Jos, but the Franklin visitors were not able to visit those cities. The biggest printing tragedy in Nigeria, and one of the saddest sights for a publisher or educator to see, is the huge Gaskya Corporation plant in Zaria which (apparently because of top mis- management) seems to be turning out only about a fifth of the large production of which it would be capable, even with no increase or modernization of equipment. Any American project, carried out through Franklin or otherwise, to put Gaskya on the high road once more would make a major contribution to Nigerian educational welfare, and incidentally to economic welfare and even civic morale, for the present futility of the Gaskya project has become a widely recognized Regional scandal. 3. Publishing Houses. Because Franklin is not itself a publisher, a prime question relating to feasibility of a Franklin program is whether there are publishing houses in the country to serve the function of bringing out the books. There are very few Nigerian publishing houses, and none of major importance, but there are some, including church houses and some publishing done by booksellers and printers. Also, a hopeful pattern is suggested by the new firm, African Universities Press, Lagos, founded by the British publisher Andre Deutsch but with three of the four directors Nigerians and with a Nigeria-based editorial policy and, thus far, all books printed in Nigeria. Additionally, the most active British publisher in Nigeria, Longmas, is in the process of Africanizing its work, and both the head office in London and the Lagos and Regional managers have stated interest in cooperating with Franklin. Similar interest has been expressed by Oxford University Press. -11- Even more interesting, though at the moment much more problematical, is the intention of two distinguished public figures in Ibadan to start a house of their own. A middle-level civil servant in Kaduna stated his intention of doing likewise, and an Onitsha printer- publisher plans substantial expansion of his publishing operations. The existing University Press at Ibadan and those projected at Nsukka and Zaria are also among the potential publishing outlets. 4. Distribution. For the long term, this is the weakest point in the entire Nigerian book situation. Not only is there no nation- wide system of book distribution, but there is no really effective system even within any one region. The CMS Bookshops in the three regions and the SIM Bookshops in the North offer the closest approach to a distributing chain, but they fall far short of meeting the r-quirements, as they are represented only in chief cities and have no discernible interest in extending beyond their present limits. Both of these church organizations have creditable retail outlets with rather surprising stocks in some of their stores (e.g. the CMS shop in Onitsha, the SIM shop in Kaduna, and in the latter case quite well displayed), but there is no apparent dynamism in their high command and no evidence of a desire to become truly nationwide distributors. There have been a few tentative suggestions of possible American participation in setting up a book distribution system, one of them by the Lagos-based Enterprise Development Corporation, directed by an American, Richard Gamble. There is also the cooperative scheme of certain British book publishers (not including the two with largest Nigerian interests, Longmans and Oxford) in cooperation with the impressively experienced British bookselling chain, W.H.Smith, which was brought into the picture through the personal intervention -12- of Lord Head. But although Lord Head's interest was in actual dis- tribution to meet the clear need, and although the title of the organization is Book Distribution Centre, it appears that the actual plan involves no more than a cooperative warehouse in Lagos. However, imprecision in public announcements, plus the fame of W.H.Smith as a retailer, made Nigerian booksellers think they were to be faced by massive British retail competition, and they created so much opposition that, by the time of the Franklin 1962 visit, the Book Distribution Centre had apparently become an inactive project. It should be noted, however, that fear of British competition in retailing, whether justified or not, has had one good result: the Nigerian booksellers have at last achieved some kind of banding together in an association, and that might eventually provide the b.-3is for an effective cooperative jobbing system. It is not certain to what extent the Lagos Times (which has a relatively good distribution system for its own newspaper) is interested in becoming a book distributor, or whether the new owner- ship alliance with the Thomas Nelson book interests will push them farther in that direction. Similarly, it is uncertain whether reported negotiations between P.A.S.S. (Publishers & Stationers Supply Service Ltd) and publishing firms presage some dramatic new development in book distribution from that quarter. Two things are clear, however: (a) the present distribution system, imperfect as it is, is adequate for the start of a Franklin operation; but (b) if other influences do not bring a revolution in the methods of Nigerian book distribution, then that phase of publishing must be a prime object of Franklin attention. Thus far each publisher has tried to go it alone, and even the largest operator (Longmans) is -13- unable toafford an effective nationwide distribution system. What is required is a distribution organization covering all three Regions, receiving books from all publishers and distributing them to all retailers. If such a network is not established in some other way, then Franklin should make it its business to help set one up, possibly sending an American consultant, as Franklin is currently maintaining in Iran and India the dean of American booksellers, Joseph A. Margolies, for a year's market-consultantship. Speaker Gwandu in Kaduna emphasized the distribution problem in the North and suggesaed an ingenious solution if an organization like Franklin could help with technical advice and if modest seed capital could be found. Service of a Franklin Office to the American Book World A Franklin organization in Nigeria must of course have as its major objective the advancement of Nigerian welfare, and usefulness of the project to the United States must be judged first and foremost in those terms. It should be noted, however, that in the very process of serving Nigeria a major contribution can be made toward achieving better representation of American ideas through American books. The USIS libraries are of noteworthy importance to this end, and a credit to the U.S., but their necessarily limited number holds down the number of people by whom they are influenced. In any event, the overworked USIS staff is naturally unable to assume, in addition to all its other responsibilities, such time-consuming functions as supplying bibliographical information about American books to the commercial book trade and to all Nigerian educational institutions, libraries, government bureaus, etc. Some non-government American "book presence" is clearly needed. -14- As a generalization it may be suggested that Nigeria is probably the largest non-Bloc country in the world almost entirely devoid of information about American books, let alone familiarity with the books themselves. Many American books are too expensive for wide commercial sale, both absolutely and in comparison with the prices of British books; but there are thousands of American titles, especially in the category of "quality paperbacks", that are not out of line with other book prices in Nigeria and whose subject matter would be of prime interest to Nigerian scholars, educators, government officials, and others. Merely to acquaint the booktrade and all libraries with the quarterly publication "Paperbound Books in Print" would be an important con- tribution; or tosupply leading scholars with the quarterly "Scholarly Bnoks in America" would likewise be most useful. In other countries in which Franklin has worked, it has proved possible for Franklin to help both the local country and American authors and publishers by supplying bibliographical information and facilitating establishment of normal business relations between local importers and American exporters. It seems certain that work along these lines in Nigeria would have striking results. In addition, however, Franklin's activity in sponsoring publication of American books--in English or in vernaculars, and whether "as is" or adapted--would make American books actually available to Nigerian readers. An interesting example of the sort of book that might be chosen is the work of a UCLA scholar, Dr. May Seagoe, "Teachers Guide to the Learning Process," which, on the initiative of a British expatriate (J.W.V.Chamberlain, senior inspector of primary schools in Northern Nigeria), is ardently desired in an adapted edition. -15- This particular book came to the attention of the Kaduna authorities through a Peace Corps officer; there are countless other books in education and many other fields, perhaps most notably juveniles for supplementary reading, that would have similar appeal but which neither Nigerians nor their British advisers have ever heard of. A Franklin Organization in Nigeria If the funds can be secured, it is proposed to form a Franklin organization in Nigeria with a Federation headquarters office in Lagos responsible to a Federation advisory committee consisting of distinguished figures from the three Regions and the Federal Territory. The function of the Lagos office would be the formulation of general policy for the country as a whole, the conduct of relations with the Federal government, and the handling of cooperative projects among the Regions. Operating offices in Ibadan, Enugu, and Kaduna are needed for three reasons: (a) because primary education is officially a Regional rather than Federal responsibility, and continuing close relations with Regional Ministries of Education would be essential; (b) because such vernacular publishing as is undertaken must clearly be carried out within the respective language areas; and (c) because the objective of building a nationwide book-distribution system can be achieved only if there are effective organizers within each Region for establishing and maintaining the distribution channels and for handling interchange with Lagos and the other Regions. What a Franklin Office Would Do As soon as a Franklin organization in Nigeria was established-- in fact, in some cases informally even before the organization was set up--it would be possible to undertake some projects immediately. -16- These might be "targets of opportunity" such as the May Seagoe teacher- training book mentioned earlier--book projects that are easy to formulate and for which there is clearly visualized immediate utility. Besides such adaptations of books for English-language publication, othear most immediate possibilities would probably include adapted translations into Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa of small supplementary-reading books for new readers, whether juvenile or adult. It should be noted that although the prospect for successful publishing in Yoruba may seem prima facie more promising than in the two other languages the outlook is very favorable in Hausa because of the drive for literacy in the North, and in Ibo because much of the previously published material in that language was in an orthography now replaced, and books for school or library use will be required to be in the new officially approved spelling. At the same time that such immediate projects were being launched, the Franklin organization in Nigeria would be pushing forward in all fields toward selection by Nigerians of other titles desired. Following the pattern that Franklin has used with great success elso- where, the local offices would have extensive bibliographical support from Franklin New York--not only normal bibliographical tools in situ, and comprehensive suggested lists relating to categories declared by Nigerians to be desired, but also substantial collections of sample books for inspection and consideration by Nigerian advisers. These collections would consist in part of books suggested from the U.S. in response to Nigerian naming of general categories, and in part of books offered for Nigerian consideration on New York initiative, based on Franklin's ten years of testing the universal or trans- cultural qualities of thousands of American books. -17- As indicated in an earlier section, Nigeria has right now the elements necessary for the start of a Franklin program--people com- petent to serve as translators and editors, printers, publishing houses, and the rudiments of a retailing system. No new organization (with the exception of Franklin Nigeria itself) would have to be established to permit work to start. But it would be necessary simultaneously to begin building for the future in all of these book fields, especially through personnel training, in Nigeria or abroad, in publishing techniques and above all in distribution. Special editorial and publishing projects in association with ministries, universities, schools of education, adult-literacy programs, school-library projects, vocational-training projects, health education projects, etc. could enter planning stages as soon as the needs became clear. Franklin is not deluded into thinking it has professional competence outside the publishing phases of such projects, and the ideal situation would be one in which Franklin's knowledge of book techniques could serve to supply printed materials meeting the content requirements established by specialists in the other fields. We foresee close collaboration with AID officers, with American foundations and educational organizations, and with indigenous institutions in Nigeria. The possibility of Anglo-American-Nigerian cooperation in some fields, especially those relating to the teaching of reading, has been suggested to Franklin on official British initiative. A special advantage for Franklin in undertaking both the "regular program" and any "special projects" is its recognized status as a -18- representative of the American book world. Full cooperation is always forthcoming not only from individual publishers but also from leading associations in the book field, such as the American Book Publishers Council, American Textbook Publishers Institute, Association of American University Presses, American Institute of Graphic Arts, American Booksellers Association, American Library Association, Children's Book Council. Franklin officers and directors likewise are in continuing consultation with specialists in African education and affairs at UCLA, Stanford, Boston University, Brandeis University, M.I.T., Harvard, African-American Institute, Phelps-Stokes Fund, Books for Africa, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment. All of the above organizations have been outgiving with their time and practical help, and several of them are natural sources of financial support for special projects for Franklin Nigeria--if the base itself and ongoing "regular program" projects can be established. Financial Requirements Franklin has received contributions and pledges, largely from American book publishers, assuring about $15,000 or $20,000 per year for three years, to permit immediate engagement of a Nigerian manager, maintenance of a small office, and initiation of one or two token projects. Franklin also has funds, from a grant previously received from the Ford Foundation, for supplying some of the consulting American specialists who would help establish an indigenous Nigerian book industry; but no part of that Ford fund may be used for main- taining African offices or for actual operations. And the contribution to general support that can be made, bit by bit, by the "special -19- projects" to be undertaken is impossible in advance of establishment of the base and organization of the projects themselves. It is therefore necessary to have assurance of financial support of $500,000 to guarantee existence of the Nigerian base, and the carrying out of a "regular program" for a three-year period. Disburse- ments would not be evenly distributed through the three years, because organization would not be complete in the beginning, and project expense and staff salaries would increase as the program got under way. But the average per year is estimated to be as follows: Estimate Per Year LAGOS THREE REGIONAL OFFICES TOTAL Staff salaries $ 12,000 $ 60,000 $ 72,000 Rent & services 3,000 24,000 27,000 Advisory Com. 3,000 ---- 3,000 Dom. travel 1,000 3,000 4,000 Foreign travel 3,000 3,000 6,000 Regular Project Expense 3,000 62,000 65,000 General Expense 1,000 9,000 10,000 $ 26,000 $ 161,000 $ 187,000 Private contrib- utions in hand approx. 20,000 Annual Need $ 167,000 x 3 Three-Year Requirement $ 501,000 The guess as to division of expense items between Lagos and the regional offices is entirely tentative, and is conditioned by the present assumptiun that, at least at the beginning, a large majority of the publishing projects would relate to elementary or adult-literacy -20- education, whether in English or vernacular, and that close continuing contact with Regional ministries would therefore be necessary. If, on the contrary, it should develop that work with Federal Territory schools and university projects (a Federal-level subject) should bulk large, more actual publishing would be done in Lagos. The totals for such items as salaries, services, and project costs could be divided in different ways if the facts so indicate. Special projects and especially any capital-expense projects relating to printing plants or investment in equipment for distribution projects, would be separately financed apart from the above budget, whether as grants or loans. But the budget above would permit full operation of the "regular program" for three years and establishment of the base upon which everything else could be constructed. On the basis of its experience in other countries and all of its observations and soundings in Nigeria itself, Franklin is confident that if the $500,000 fund can be provided it will be able to create a true Nigerian book industry, and thus make a significant contribution to education and economic development. The More Distant Future The question naturally arises of what would happen at the end of the three-year period. No one can predict surely, and it must be noted that some of Franklin's advisers have urged a five-year rather than a three-year project to make sure that the mission can be accomplished in the time allowed. On consideration, however, Franklin has decided to hold to the three-year plan, on the grounds that by the end of three years it will be clear whether the plan is working and whether continued Franklin presence in Nigeria is desirable and -21- justified.- It will also be evident by the end of three years to what extent Franklin activities have become locally self-supporting and the degree of basic support that can be supplied by allocation of small overhead factors from "special projects" financed by foundations, and by corporate and individual donors, etc. If Franklin dontinuation is indicated, there might be modified or reduced work along "regular program" lines or, more probably, the major emphasis might be shifted to separately financed "special projects" relating to personnel training and special publications while the chief activity dealing with American books might become that of a non-profit literary agency, arranging for acquisition by Nigerian publishers of translation or reprint rights of American or other books. Franklin is certain, in any event, that whether or not continua- tion after three years is indicated, and whether or not such continua- tion can be financed, in the three-year period itself it will have started Nigerian book publishing on a road from which it will never turn back. A Final Word Building a national book industry is a costly business. If the sole interest were in providing particular books for current use, it would be far cheaper to manufacture them in the United States and ship them over. The justification for the Franklin method is to be found in three factors: (a) the local base of operations, assuring suitable adaptation to Nigerian needs as well as providing a great strengthening of national morale and incidentally assuring psychological -22- acceptability of the program as a whole; (b) the construction of a mechanism that can continue to supply Nigeria with books for years into the future instead of merely the particular books during a three-year period; (c) the contribution to economic development in both the public and private sectors if an indigenous industry for publishing and printing Nigerian books can be achieved. For the Board of Directors Datus C. Smith, Jr. President FRANKLIN PUBLICATIONS, INC. CABLE ADDRESS: FRANBOOK, NEW YORK 432 PARK AVENUE SOUTH, NEW YORK 16, N.Y. 0 TELEPHONE: MURRAY HILL 3-2500 September 13, 1963 Mr. Ahmed Tuqan International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 1818 H Street, N.W. Washington 25, D.C. Dear Mr. Tuqan: As a former Arab educator you might be interested in two special aspects of Nigerian education: 1. I am sending you separately a copy of the report on "The Teaching of Arabic in Schools and Colleges in Nigeria". A written by an Iraqi acquaintance of mine, Selim Hakim, who I assume is known to you also. I was greatly disappointed in the report in general, but it nevertheless contains information of value and interest. Absolutely no hurry, but I would be glad to have the report returned eventually. 2. Whether or not you'Bank Mission responsibilities require it, I urge that you be sure to visit the Kano School of Arabic Studies (which I guess has been by now reconstituted as a branch of Ahmadu Bello University of Zaria). The acting head, Mallam Shehu, is charming, intelligent, and far-visioned. And the school itself will interest you anyway for its modern and to an extent secularized approach to the traditional function of the Azhar. Sincerely yours, Datus 0.

Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Diez-Hochleitner: As I am sure you know, CPI had the privilege of conducting a workshop on programmed instruction at the University of Ibadan this summer. The results were most gratifying,and I thought you might like to hear about our experience. I plan to be in Washington quite frequently during the next week or two, and I should appreciate the opportunity to call on you at a mutually convenient time. While returning from Nigeria, I stopped over at UNESCO headquarters for a few days to review plans for future work in programmed self-teaching and to prepare a final report on the workshop. Unfortunately, UNESCO's printing plant was undergoing some sort of crisis, and copies of the report-are not yet available. However, I shall see that you receive one at the ear- liest possible date. Meanwhile, I am enclosing an evaluation report prepared by representatives of the official observers of the workshop. Also enclosed is a copy of a short article prepared for next month's edition of "Programed Instruction," CPI's monthly pu blication. While in Paris I looked up Phil Coombs to discuss a plan we have at CPI to establish a center to provide advisory and training services to underdeveloped nations in all aspects of modern instructional technology, At present there exists no single organization to which aid-seeking institutions can turn for across-the-board assistance in curriculum analysis, course planning, programmed instruction, selection and utilization of audio-visual aids, and other modern educational develop- ments. The need to refer to a multiplicity of sources 163 SEP IS Pi13:35 Mr. Ricardo Diez-Hochleitner September 12, 1963 page 2 for help in these different areas imposes an unreason- able burden on educational administrators in the de- veloping countries. We expect to alleviate this pro- blem to some extent by offering a comprehensive service. The new center, which we propose to call the International Institute of Instructional Technology, will draw not only on its own staff for expertise, but also on the resources of one or more major universities with which it will become affiliated. At present we are negotiating with Columbia University and will be seeking additional affiliations in the near future. Thus, IIIT will act as a clearing house and coordinating agency, as well as a source of special technical skills in its own right. In the course of conversation, Phil indicated that you would be particularly interested in our plans for the IIIT and urged emphatically that we get in touch with you as soon as possible. He felt that you would lend a sympathetic ear and, perhaps, give us help- ful advice on several matters. Whether we can look for- ward to free advice is immaterial; I should in any case enjoy meeting with you and discussing questions of mutual concern. I hope you have a free hour or two in the near future that I can take advantage of. If so, perhaps you would be good enough to suggest various times that would be convenient for you. Ver truly yours, P. Kenneth Komoski President PKK:bh encl. (2) FIRST DRAFT - LEAD ARTICLE FOR OCTOBER, 1963, BULLETIN, PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS ON AFRICA It is impossible to forecast the future of programed instruction in Africa a mere three weeks after the first systematic introduction of the technique onto that continent. We refer, of course, to the recently completed Programed Instruction Workshop at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Not only is our perspective distorted by recollection of events immediately past, but our limited opportunity to observe African educational and training practices during the six hard-working weeks of the course scarcely qualifies us to issue pronunciamentos. Nevertheless, there are a few matters on which generalization appears justified. First- of all, despite the enthusiasm for programed self-teaching displayed by virtually all workshop participants and observers, it is evident that the adoption of programed instruction by the primary and secondary schools of Africa is going to be a comparatively slow process. The majority of the teachers simply are not equipped professionally for this revolutionary development and will require special training in the applica- tion and evaluation of programed materials. -2- In contrast, whereas American teachers in 1958 also were unprepared for the advent of programed self-teaching, their varied back- ground of training and experience made it possible for most of them to grasp the basic ideas quickly and figure out potential applications by themselves. In the United States the obstacle has been not that teachers are unequipped professionally for programed instruction, but that they have been and to a large extent still are unprepared emotionally. In Africa, too, programed learning is producing emotional reactions; but the real problem is a more basic lack of professional readiness. Chiefly through the mass media and meetings of professional groups, American teachers became familiar with the rudiments of programed instruction quite rapidly. Moreover, the information transmitted in these ways was reasonably complete and accurate, and it was not long before teachers themselves were becoming specialists in the field. Essentially the same also has been true of the United Kingdom. In Africa, however, no such speedy and effective dissemination of knowledge among teachers can be anticipated. The means of communication are inadequately developed, and the teachers on the whole lack the capability to understand and utilize programed instruction without special training. -3- Consequently, it is our conviction that priority should and will be given initially to the use of programed materials in teacher training, as opposed to primary and secondary training. In learning subject matter by means of programed self-teaching, teachers undergoing training either in colleges or on the job can become better equipped academically and, in the process, acquire familiarity with programing methods. As experience grows in this manner, and as selected teachers begin to specialize in the technique, formal courses in programed instruction will be initiated at universities and teacher training institutions. At this point African readiness for programed instruction will approximate our own professionally, and probably surpass it emotionally. One reason for the prediction that Africans may have less "emotional" difficulty with programed instruction then we in this country have had to date is that much of an African's emotional energy is concerned with educational problems of such magnitude that he is apt to get awfully impatient with people who are more interested in raising philosophical questions then a in raising the levels of literacy or science education. What the African is interested in is "What do you know about that may help us solve our problems? Don't tell me why it will or won't work here, but teach me enough -4- about it for me to find this out for myself." If he discovers that what you have taught him may help, he is going to use it--providing it doesn't cost too much! Another reason for a less emotional reaction to programed instruction in Africa is that fortunately programed instruction is being introduced before the teaching machine. Ninety percent of the emotionalism about programed instruction in the United States (and even more so in Great Britain) derives from the fact that the first crude teaching machines to appear in these promoted -countries were, and to an extent still are, being out of all proportion to their worth or importance. In Africa on the other hand, teaching machines cannot be seriously considered until low cost, highly durable and supremely simple devices can be produced, distributed, and serviced still some with great ease. The day when these requirements can be met is M way off. In the meantime programed instruction can and must be introduced one day on a small scale via inexpensive books. Teaching machines will be used extensively unfortunately in Africa--but there is a good chance that they will not be used until after the concept of programed instruction has been introduced and under- stoodsnot as a means of mechanizing education but as an educational tool which helps us to radically examine the instructional process and to bring -5- about more effective and efficient learning. A second factor of critical importance to the use of programed self- instruction in African schools is the lack of facility of most students with the language of instruction. Many hundreds of languages are spoken in Africa, and it is a mistake to think that the "universal" tongues of Arabic, English, and French are adequate to the task of communication. We are ignorant of the exact statistics, but it is certain that a program translated into all three of these languages still would be usable by far fewer than half of allAfrican school children. Even where one of these languages is the official language of instruction, it often is not employed until the upper primary grades; and sometimes, in truth, it is not used at all. In addition , even when the official language is well taught, it becomes at best a somewhat unnatural second tongue. The question of writing programs for students in their second language merits considerable research, as does the question of adapting programs written for American or British audiences to other languages and cultures. We see nothing insurrmountable in these problems. In due time African students of all ages will be avidly studying programs written in their first, second, and perhaps third and fourth languages. They also -6- will be learning from programed pictorial and spoken material which requires little or no reading. However, the communication barrier presents a major challenge and will require more ingenuity in the development and publication of programs and in the design and production of teaching machines than has thus far been evidenced in the United States. An African market undoubtedly will open up for typical plain vanilla, mediocre-to-bad American programs, but the giant's share of the market will be captured by those who recognize the communication problem and invest in the research and 'development necessary .to cope with it. A lesser issue, but still one requiring attention, is the oft-cited African propensity for test-taking and certificate-getting. Since ordinary linear programs closely resemble tests in outward appearance, African students will tend to view them as such; and worse, so will their teachers. Whether it actually is harmful for pupil and/or teacher to treat programs as tests is moot, but such usage clearly violates the basic intent of program- ing and should be eschewed on moral grounds if no other. Although it may cause gnashing of teeth in many quarters, we feel that the apparent association between linear programs and tests may give at least a temporary advantage in Africa to mathetical programs, which tend - -7- to resemble workbooks, and intrinsic programs, which resemble conventional textbooks. We are likely to develop little evidence on this score in the near future, however, since over 95 percent of the work accomplished at the Programed Instruction Workshop involved linear programing. This preponderance of effort on one approach was a weakness of the workshop, but one scarcely avoidable in a course for utter neophytes that lasts only six weeks. Our comments to here have been confined to formal education, for it is mainly in the primary and secondary schools that we noted marked differences between African and American potentials for programed learning. In industrial and civil service training the conditions for development and use of programed instruction appear fairly comparable to those in the United States, except that training needs in Africa are in every way more compelling. Hence, we think that self-teaching in African industry and civil service will develop without major obstacles and will follow much the same pattern as in American industry. However, programed instruction undoubtedly will assume a more dominant position in Africa than in American industrial training. More specialized training is required per employee in Africa, and the number of qualified instructors is much smaller. Thus, the total need for self -teaching is greater and more urgent. P.

This workshop wes jointly sponsored by UNESCO, the Ford Foundation, and tho Univcrsity of Ibadan, at the request of the Federal Ministry of Education, The workshop was staffed by five members of the Center for Programed Instruction, New York City, U.S.A. The staff was assisted by three Nigerians and three Gobonese who had previously received training in programmed instruction at the Center for Programed Instruction and else- whcre in the United States. Two UNESCO staff members from ,est Africa also assisted. The vorkshop was directed by P. Kenneth Komoski, President, Center for Progranmed Instruction. The Participants The workshop was attended by 37 participants who were solocted by the Education Ministries of Nigeria (Regional and Federal) and Ghana, and by various industrial and governmental organizations in Nigeria and Ghana. In addition, several observers visited the workshop for varying periods of time. A Simplificd Definition of Programned instruction Programmed instruction is the process of arranging materials to be learned in a series of easy to master steps designed to lead a student through self- instruction from what he knows into the unknown of more complex knowledge and skill. The student responds at each step and when the response is correct he may proceed to the next step. If errors are made, the student is corrected im..ediately, before he proceeds to the next step. The Scope of Programmed Instruction Today Since its appearance in education five years ago, programmed instruction has proved itself to bt an effective method of self-instruction at almost every educational level. It is currently being used in approximately 5,000 primary and secondary schools in the United States, as well as in numerous post-secondary colleges, postgraduate schools, industrial concerns, and government agencies it federal and local levels in both the United States and Canada. During the past year its use has spread to the United Kingdom, where for some time previously research in programmed instruction had been conducted at several Universities and in a number of government departments. For two years the Ministry of Education in Sweden has sponsored an extensive rosearch project which has carried programming in mathematics into the upper prinary grades. Early in 1963 research projects in progrcimtng T: re begun in West Germany, Russia, and Czechoslovakia. Concurrent with the present workshop, similar courses were held in Brazil and Jordan, Programmed materials produced in the United States have been translated into Swe dish and Japanese and are in videspread use in those countries. In July of 1963 the first international conference on prograned instruction w. s held in Berlin. Twenty-one countries were represented at this conference, ,hich was attended by 1,700 educators. EXLUATION OF ACHEVEENTS IN LIHT OF OTORKSHOP AIMS It is the considered opinion of the Evalutation Committee that the 2olloeing aims have been achieved during the six weeks of the workshop. The participants have: (a) produced at least one serviceable programmed lesson each (many have developed two or three); (b) ' vith the oonoept64nd become fwvjU.L toeahnxitsq of progbuming;. (c) become awnro of rays nr instruction any help to solve some of the many teaching problems confronting Africai education; d) acquired skill in techniques of analyzing and evaluating programmed materials and identifying their limitations and potential; and (e) improved their ability to analyze and state educational and training objectives in clear, precise language. Of course, it must realiwed that these aims have been achieved in some cases only to a limited degree. In many instances, however, the participants have attained a level of knowledge and skill far beyond what could have been antioi- pated considering the short duration of the workshop. For one thing, it was not anticipated that the over-all quality of the materials produced would be as high as has actually turned out to be the case. It is the the opinion of the workshop 0: Y that some of the self-teaching materials emerging from the course are superior in quality to many programmes at present being published commercially. However, it is the consensus of the CQlnmittee that the products of the work- shop are by no means to be considerad as fully developed programmes. They are to be viewed, rather, as "first versions" of lessons that will obviously benefit greatly from being tested in the field and revised on the basis of that testing. CONG:TSIONS I. The Committee strongly emphasize its conclusion that whereas programmed instruction is a new and potentially valuable element in the classroom, it is to be considered only one of many important activities that make up a child's educational experience. II. As a result of this conviction the Committee concludes that Nigerian education should not consider prorgram-in; .s a means of teaching whole courses or entire areas of the curriculum, but rather that programmed instruction be used to teach particular and carefully selected topics in all subjects that lend themselves to this new approach. It is suggested that those topics be programmed which have been found difficult to teach. Eventually it may seem a wise course to program all of a partioflar subject; but even if this were possible, such use of programmes at present would create great administrative and logistical problems for schools. This is another reason why it is considered necessary to begin by programming particular topics. III. The Committee roconizes that the West Africans who participated in the workshop, as well as the Nigerians and GLbonese who served as staff assistants have made commendable progress in prorramminr; but it also is concluded that these indi- viduals cannot be expected to carry the burden of training the many additional educators who must learn about pro'roci instruction if it is to be adequately evaluated in West Africa. TV. The Committee concludes that programed instruction may be of great potential value in: 1. The in-service training of teachers who are not able to attend teacher training colleges because of the limited number of places available in such institutions. 2. Teachers colleges, where students may be better instructed in certain topics through programmed self-teaching materials. In the process of learning from programmes tho students will acquire experience enabling them to make effective use of programmed instructions in their future classrooms. In addition, formal training in the disciplined lesson-planning essential to the development of programmes can benefit all teachers. 3. Secondary schools, initially in the teaching of mathomaties, science, geography, and English, and subsequently in other subjects. 4. The upper grades of the primary schools in the teaching of those aeademie subjects where programmed instruction may make it pnssible for students in different types of schools to reach a similar level of achievement before entering secondary school. The problem of slow reading should be given special attention. 5. Technical education, where programmed instruction is particularly wel suited to the teaching of procedures, the mathematical basis of techno- logy, and basic theoretical concepts. 6. Industrial and governmental training programmes where it is difficult and sometimes impossible to bring workers and trainees together for courses of study. The ability to teach a stud&mt on his own, wherever he may be and at any time convenient to him, is deemed a great asset in industrial and governmental training. 7. Adult education, here courses are difficult to organize and qualified instructors are scarce. In general, adult education is faced with much the same difficulties as industrial and governmental training. OECMM ATIONS I. The Committee definitely recomaends that steps be taken to introduce research and demonstration projects in programmed instruction into Nigerian education, on the grounds that program-ing offers a means of more actively in- volving all students in the process of instruction and should lead to more effective and efficient learning. Furthermore, this method provides increased opportunity for tachers to work with students who need individual help. The object of these research and demonstration projects should be to deter- mine how the most fruitful marriage may be achieved between current educational practice and the more self-instructional practices implicit in the concept of programming. II. The Committee recommends a course of a ction in introduceJng research and demonstration projects that is expertly planned and guided. Thorough co-ordination ,*)ouldbe accomplished through an adequately staffed research and development centre which concentrates on the training of specialists in all phases of programmed instruction. These specialists can then function as staff members of teacher training colleges, institutes of education, ministries of education, and other agencies. III. It is recommended that assistance be solicited from international organizations, be-lateral agencies, an foundations in an endeavour to establish the National Council of Educational Research in Nigeria and to implement the recommendations of this report. IV. The Evaluation Committee wishes to express the gratitude of the various Ministries of Education to the Institute of Education of the University ef Ibadan for providing facilities to the workshop and to UNESCO and the Ford Foundation for the essential part they have played in making the werkshop possible. As a final recommendation, however, the Committee strongly recommends that UNESCO and the Ford Foundation offer continued support to the work begun during the six weeks of the workshop. This follow-up should begin as soons as possible in the form of: i. Consultation to the varieus individuals and groups that have created programmed materials during the workshop. 2. Oensultation to Eduoation MinztU*e s, Universities, teacher training colleges, and to industrial and government training schools. 3. Additional workshops and conferences to be held in various parts of Nigeria in the near future.

In connection with the proposed mission to Nigeria to appraise school construction and equipment projects, and with reference to Mr. Fajans' cable No. 48 of August 30, Mr. Diez-Hochleitner has given me the following information: (a) It is physically impossible for the mission to be in Nigeria before October 1. (b) A technical and vocational education expert is essential to the mission, but cannot be available before mid-October. (c) In Mr. Tuqan's view, the presence of Messrs. Ochardson and Jelf is not essential to the work of the mission. (d) The problem of Eastern Region officials preoccupation with census matters may be overcome by scheduling the mission's visit to that Region last. (Similar difficulties may, how- ever, be encountered in other Regions.) (e) The mission will probably assemble in Washington around October 15: it cannot do so at an earlier date. (f) In view of the extensive documentation on education in Nigeria, some 10-15 days will be needed for mission brief- ing. (g) It is hoped that the mission will arrive in Lagos on or about November 1. (h) The mission will consist of Mr. Ahmed Tuqan and 3 or 4 others, namely a technical and vocational education ex- pert, an agriculturist, an architect and an economist. cc: Messrs.

The Region is even more anx- ious than the North to have the mission come to Enugu in early October. Orchardson will be on leave beginning October 16 and various Govt.officials will be assigned,at the end of October, to population census duties. 5. The Ministry of Education think in terms of the following priorities: (i) Govt.

Secondary Schools (your no.7) This leaves out the Domestic Science Centre at Aba, which might become part of, or be expanded into, a Govt.trade school for girls, and the Port Harcourt Technical Institute, a joint project, apparently promoted by the Federation rather than by the Region (see also par.12 of my letter 25). 6. No one was able to explain how the P.H.Institute fitted in, with the U.K.grant- financed Technical College at Enugu,on one side, and the AID supported Port Harcourt secondary technical school, now being expanded from 210 to 1440 students, on the other side. The only indication, which I obtained, was that the Federal Govt. plan- ned originally to get the Germans to finance the infrastructure, so as to be able to meet future needs withoat delay. The mission should discuss this project with Mr. Gailer, the Federal adriser on technical education in Lagos., before going to Enugu.

I was in Nigeria earlier this month and had a very full discussion of this technical assistance project at a meeting chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Linistry of Education at which were present other senior 1inistry Officials, the Under-Secretary of the Bureau of External Aid and hr. 7ilson our Chief of Mission. I put before them the same paper which I left with you and Mr. Tuqan in Washington except that all budget figures had been removed. The meeting accepted this fully and the Permanent Secretary said that if financing were to be forthcoming such an Institute could be set up by Cabinet decree and that there should be no difficulty in having an international board of governors accepted. I said that they should now write the paper up in a more detailed form to submit to the Bank mission due in Nigeria in September. This they promised to do, leaving the task to Mr. Etti, their Adviser on teacher training and our Chief of Mission. I strongly urged them to begin slowly if the project were accepted by the Bank and to think in terms of recruiting a 3-4 month consultant for thorough project preparation. The point was taken. It would seem to me that some loose or contractual arrangement with a competent university or other institution would be in the interests of the project once it is accepted. I understand that some kind of institute for overseas development in the field of educational "technology" may be set up this year by Columbia .. ./...

You may care to pass this news on to Mr. Tuqan. Kindest regards. Yours sincerely, J.F. YcDougall Chief, Division of Educational Information & Materials.

Unesco Wilson had visited Kaduna shortly before and told the Govt. that we were waiting for a formal application from them. This caused consternation, because the Minister of Dducation is apparently not on speaking terms with his Federal colleague and no one knew how to get an official request cleared through Lagos on thtway to ashington. 5. I told them that a brief letter to Festus, saying that October them, was all that needed to be done, and I promised was fine with to talk to the Federal people. In fact, Jelf might be away in the latter part of October and is anxious for the mission to come to Kaduna early in the month. 6. Last Monday, in Lagos, I talked with Eberly, Thornton's American no.2 at the External Aid for Education Bureau. He was to explain things to Okagbue, presently acting PermSec at Education. Then I went to see Ogbu and impressed on him the need or a prompt reply by Festus. He said something about everybody being in Washington in early October but I explained that the presence in Lagos of high financial of- ficials was not required in the case of a project appraisal mission. Would you, please, cable me, if you do not hear from Festus by September 7. 7. 1 am off to Enugu on the 26th.

Tobias Nigerian Mission Mr. Busse has turned up an outstanding roster of candidates for the position of economist for the forthcoming Nigerian mission. If it is necessary to differentiate between these ,men, it is only because of the highly specialized nature of the assignment. As you have pointed out, Nigeria has been surveyed and re-surveyed ad nauseum with respect to its manpower resources and outlook. The fact that a number of competent economists have forecast Nigeria's kanpowcr future at very different levels indicates both the complexity of the problem and the disutility of the bank's essaying the task once more. Probably the precise level is not too important- all seem agreed that some growth in human resources development is necessary to realise Nigeria's promise. What is important and has not been adequately covered in previous surveys is the fiscal capacity of the country to sustain an educational pro- gram-the several expansion programs already designed all appear to be beyond Nigeria's ability to pay. The economist who accompanies the forthcoming mission should therefore address hinself almost exclusively to fiscal capacity, resources and prospective patterns of expenditure. Among the candidates Mr. Busse has brought forth none is more appealing than Mr. Lyle C. Fitch, whose background and current responsibilities conspire to make him eminently suitab3. to the task at hand. His very thin file contains most impressive endorsements and a description of a background and current duties which should be of great value to the forthcoming mission. If it is necessary to ake a second choice in the event of his unavailability, I suggest we get in touch with Mr. Robert S. Solomon whose experience is also heavily marked by fiscal and financial studies. Here again is a candidate already well known to a number of Bank people. The background of the remaining candidates in most cases is not nearly so well suited to the job at hand and I would reconmiend that the greatest urgency be given to recruitment of one of these two in the order indicated.

I would like to comment briefly on two matters concerning the projects in the East. Firstly the Technical Institute, Port 'Harcourt will be a joint project between our 2ederal Goverrient and the Government of Eastern P i eria. Secondly, I am disappointed that our nronosals for science expansion have not been included. These ma- have been submitted late for consideration by the U1ESCO lissian a:hic came here under the leadership of Professor Rilson last year, but Mr. Ahmed Tucian seemed interested so I hone the next mission will look favourably unon the nroposals. Very briefly our aim is to improve the facilities for teacking science, particularly in Teacher Training Colleges and Secondary Schools, by making grants for the building and eauiTping of suitable laboratories. I appreciate the interest which you are teiin- in our plans and look7 forvird to meetir a Bank I:ission in the not too distant future. Yours sincerely, (s.E. Imoke) . :inister of Education.

I should like to meet with you and the members of the Mission before they go out. Incidentally, I am informed by Prasad that a U.N. expert produced a report a couple of years ago on the subject of more economical methods of school construction and that political intervention has so far frustrated the application of the recommendations. I suggest that the Mission take a close look at this situation.

Now, as you have noticed in.Xour statistics showntoe your Mission when you last visited us., the ratio of gtlols to i:> in our primary schools is now about 3:5. It is therefore esgqf tal that training should be provided for them, also there is er-, shortage of Home Economics teachers and Agricultural Extensio worketr I shall therefore be grateful if further consideration .. could be given to this project as part of Technical Education.

I had hoped that the more condensed report I was telling you about would be completed before this date but things did not turn up as fast as I had hoped. In order to avoid further delay I am sending you herewith a set of questions which I must emphasize do not replace the previous long questionnaire kept with you. The questionnaire now enclosed is nothing more than my personal views concerning the materials which should be available to any mission on arriving at a country for appraising its educational programme. I must add that it does not represent the opinion of this Division and that the best that I can claim for it is that it highlights the essential points without which no clear picture about the educational system in any country may be formed. Please treat this questionnaire exactly as I have explained previously. I hope you are doing well. I am now on my way to the Philippines for an interesting task in relation to its Agricultural College and hope to return before the end of next month.

Washington 25, D. C. Dear Mr. Hochleitner: Your letter of June 6 with reference to the Bank's interest in educational projects in Nigeria has been awaiting my return from a three-week consultancy on Mass Literacy to the Republic of Mali. Thank you very much. I am indeed pleased to learn that the mission's terms of reference will include the use of educational media and would greatly ap- preciate an opportunity to visit with one or two members to dis- cuss the possibility of a research project in Nigeria which would build upon the work which we have begun. If you could let me know when it would be convenient for me to meet with you and your associates, I will be glad to come to Washington. Sincerely yours, Warren D.

Dear Mr. Tuqan, e have not heard from you for sometime and are most anxdous to keep our lines of communication open so that we may move forward as rapidly as possible in prepa- ring our submission for a loan from the International Development Association. 2. While we are not holding back in the preparation of project descriptions, I think you will appreciate that we are inhibited by the lack of a clear statement of procedure. We had asked the Unesco IJission to tell us exactly what to do to nrepare a loan application. Yet their final report does not come to grips with this request. 3. There are three ways in which you could give us some much - needed guidance at this stage: (1) By sending us the abridged questionnaire referred to in your letter of May 16. (2) By coming to visit us soon. Mr. Thornton said that you might come in July. (3) By sending us a copy of the educational loan application from Tunisia. While this may not be a legitimate request, I am sure you can appreciate the value of such a comparative document. We should also benefit from a clear statement of policy of your Association. Is your assistance limited to fields closely related to economic development, such as university and technical education? Is there a possibility of support for a, project in the field of primary education? Could an IDA loan be used as the INigerian contribution for a project, which is already receiving external assistance? Does the Association require that a certain minimum percentage of its loan money be used for offshore costs and, if so, does such restriction apply to projects individually or collectively? .... /2. Must an IDA I%3 25 8 23 -2- Must an IDA loan be applied solely to capital exoenditures and, if so, what items are included under your definition of capital expenditures? I realize that these iuestions raise issues which of may have to wait for final judgment until consideration the formal loan application. ,That I a.m anxious to avoid here is a situation in which ambiguity during the early leads toward misunderstanding in the stages of bargaining later stages. Anything that can be done to eliminate ambiguity now will be much appreciated. I look forward to receiving further guidance from you. Yours sincerely, (D. J. Eberly Acting Secretary. DJE/JS.

Ahmad Tuqan Modernizing Teachipg Methods & Techniques in Nigeria Mr. McDougalof Unesco, left the attached draft with us while visiting our Division on JWun 10, 1963. e discussed the "project" \) to which the draft is related with Mr. Dies-Hochleitner and myself Yf/and we exchanged views on it. 2. He will visit Nigeria in July and wil resume with the Federal Minister of Fdueatlon the discussion which he had previously initiated concerning this proposed project. AhMM4 Tuasn/ga Draft A Project for 'odernizin Teaching Kethods and Technigucs in Nigeria submitted by the Federal Government of !igeria to the IBPD 1. Summary This application for a total grant of two and a half million dollars would providle part of tkhe necezisary financing in foroign curr- enoiou over a five year period (3500,000 per year) for unmertaking an education project cdosigned to modern teaching methodz -nto the Nigerian education system. The purpose of this would be to increase tho effioiency of the sytem, to multiply its productr, and to improve its quality. This yrogramme of modernization of tcvhin6 methods and techniques is coniidered important in the achievement of national dovelopmental targets and in the effective use of foreign aid. Other foreign aid agecieo have expres;ed interest in developing complementary projectz along similar linos. T.iz -roj ct is considered important in supporting, strengthening and 3om li the assistance to te given to Wigcria through an IBRD loan for the purposes of educational devolopment. The Federal Covornment is prepared to carry a substantial share of the cost of thi4 proj(;ot. This contribution is estimated at $ per year. A. no;cI other aid agencies have cxproz7cd intercat and Unuzco is epc:cted to pursue projects to a value of 3 per year. The basio objective of the project being to improve the quality and efficiency of the education uystem, it will be eopectc,. to concentrate on such problem areas as: 1) In-service traininj of teachers. 2) Teaching of science and matheruatics. 3) Teaching of modern lanZ;uages. 4) Technical and vocaticnal training. 5) Adult education 2. Background a) Ashby Report; Addiz Ababa targots; 10 year plan; ilson Report. b) Need to maintain quality with rapid expansion. o) R4sults overucas of improved teaching. d) Present activities in Nigeria; need for co-ordination and intensification. 3. Objectives of Project Through research, study programmes and trainin- it iz r that the project by the end of the five year peridk will achieve such objectives as the followinL, either by direct action or in co-operation with other aid a-encics: (1) construction of an effective syu-em fur in-service training and continued education and Cui-ance of teachers through correpondence education, radio, rofrochar couxres and possibly television; (2) elaboration of prototype materials for teachin; of such subjects az soionec (including mathmatics), foreign lan ua,-es, and vocational subjects; (3) development of such major toachinL aids as itinerant laboratories; (4) development of prorammed inotruction coursez in sciences, lann"-6e arts and vocational subjects; (5) development of multi-media (film, texts, television) courses in key subjects of secondary school curriculum; (6) development of fully tested materials and courses for adult literacy. The project will aim at co-ordinating experimental and developmental work along these lines, initiating action prorames when needed either by direct action on throu&h competent local agencies (e.g. Institutes of Biucation). Though it will be expected to develop teaching material (e.g. texts, filis, equipment etc.) it is proposed that the manu.acture and marketing of these be left to other agcnciqA oV to private initiative. 4. Scope of the ProJect The proposed project is conceived as a national one. It is however rocognized that it may well have significance for other education systems in Africa and it is sugaested that the material developed and results obtained be made 6encrally available. It is also suggested that in the lact three years ciA the project provision be'made for traval/study 6rants to other African nationals wizhind to study in Nigeria the work carriod out under the project. -4- Much of the work under the project will be of an experimontal or demonstrative nature, aiming to adapt overzcas techniques, methods and materials to local conditions and needs. To achiove these ends controlled experiments, whoze design meets with the alprcval of competent research personnel, will be conducted; demontration projects will be set up; contracts for specific studies will be passed; pilot experimental projects will be organized. 5. Description 3f Project (a) The project will maintain a permanent office at (Ibadlan, La;os). (b) The project will bo direote by a Project Director to be appointed in acrecment between the YeCeral Covrnment of , Uneico a&d tho Internatioxal ank for Reconstruction- an( Lcvelopment. The Project will be iet up under Yigerian law at an Inztiute for Educational Materials and TeachinS Nethods. A GOvernin& Council will oversee the programme to be carried out. The Council will be made up of reprezentatives of competent Niierian authorities, Unesco, the IBDR and other interested fore!&n aid abercies (US-AID, Ford Foundation, Nuffield Foundation). It is expected that the project will. also be able to call on the expericnee and advice of such overscas institutions as Educational Services Inc. (21IT), the Center 'or Programmed Instruction (New York), the ational Sciense Founuaticn, the B.B.C. -5- (c) It is proposed that IBRD assistance cover a period of five years to permit proper experimentation, developmontal possibilities and to allow for the evolution of curriculum changes at the primary and secondary levels. 6.

Mr. Warren D. Stevens, Coordinator, International Contract & Training Programs, AudLo-Visual center, Indiana Univwrsi ty, BLOOMINGTON, Indiona. Dear Mr. Stevens, NMxW thanks for ywar letter of May 28, 1963. I was interested to kIaw about your contacts with Unesco ani I am glad to note that the colleagues you met have responded well to your proposal. You may have learned that one of my colleagues in this Divison, Mr. Ahnad Tuqan, spent about fifteen days in Nigeria almost two mnths ago trying, among other things, to acquaint himself with the country's most urgent needs in the field of education. The Bank is well disposed to consider financing some educational projects of high priority and it looks very likely that an education appraisal mission will visit Nigeria about July next. The mission's terms of reference, I am mre, will be wide enough to include the use of educational media in the course of their investigation. I feel that after that mission is formed some arrangement should be made for one or two of the mmbers to meet with you and discuss this aspect of their work. Sincerely yours, R. Dies-Hochleitner Chief, Education Pivisim Deportment of Technical Operatiens. khmad TwWn e Mr. R. Dies-Hochleitner May 31, 1963. Ahmad Tuqan M Education Projects - Nigeria. The attached copy of Mr. Moussa's letter to Mr. Knapp conforms to my discussions with Mr. McIvor on the subject. You recall that I have kept you informed about the developments as they presented thenselves in the course of my contacts with Mr. McIvor. I guess that you will be asked soon to discuss the letter and the formation of an appraisal mission to Nigeria with Mr. Knapp and possibly other officials concerned. Another copy of Mr. Moussa's letter to Mr. Knapp is available if you need it. Ahead Tuqan/gs Att.

National Technical Teacher Training College 517,000 It is estimated that with the expansion of technical training facilities, a total of 1958 Nigerian teachers will be required between 1963 and 1975. At present only 110 Nigerians and 165 expatriates are engaged as teachers in technical schools. The proposed College will provide a pre-service teacher ctourse extending over eight months of residence and two months of mpervised practice teaching* For in-service training the course will consist of five months residence. The college is planned to cater for 250 places in its initial stage, increasing to 400 in 1970/71. 2. Sixth Form Development in lagos 515,000 Secondary education in Nigeria consists of five years of post-elamentary with no specialization and two more years known as Sixth Form where students specialize in liberal arts or in sciences including mathanatics. The tendency has so far been for comparatively few students to take sciences. The project aims at providing laboratories, workshops and science equipment to diversify the courses of study in the Sixth Form and to e-p and secondary schooling facilities.

It is proposed that by 1970 the yearlY out- put should be 350 technicians and 100 commercial personnel. h. Rural Science Centre, m e (Expansion) 48s000 The Centre has been training primary school teachers as specialists in rural sciences. It is intended to expand the Centre to provide a three-year course for teacher train- ing tutors and secondary school teachers specialising in science and its application in agriculture. Through the graduates of this Centre a much needed agricultural bias will be introduced in secondary as well as in primary schools. . Advanced Domestic Science Centre, Aba (Expansion) 19,500 This is a section of the Women's Occupational Training Centre. The other section is for the training of secretary/typists, Women teachers with grade III (lower) Certi- ficate are given a two-year course of further training with a strong bias on dmestie science, a much neglected subject in schools. At present this section of the Centre caters for 32 trainees and the intention is to expand it to met the increasing need for this type of teacher. 6. Governent Trade Centre, Enu (Expansion) 62,000 The Centre provides full-time training in ten major trades for primary school leavers. After three years of training in the Centre, some of the students proceed for more training with recognised employers in Industry for a further period of two years.

By 1967/68 the College will have a total enrollment of 450 students with a yearly output of about 150 graduates. It is planned that while all students will be trained as qualified teachers 50% of them will specialise in Arts, Languages, and Social Studies and 50% in Sciences and Mathematics.

Technical Training Schools and Secondary Corercial Schools 1,,3o6,o0 The pattern recently adopted for vocational training is to give primary school leavers allowed to proceed for further educatian, a general secondary school coUrse of two Years with sone emiphasis on handicrafts. At the and of the second year they divide Into two ZM as one of which proceeds for one year of basic training in the building, Mechae and electrical trades. These three years correspond to the Craft School, a term which will soon be abandoned. The students will then pass to the Technical Train- ing School from which after one year some leave for employnent as grade 3 artisans. Those with more aptitude continue in the Technical Training School for a second year and take the Intermediate City and Guilds examination after which some go for employ- ment while some selected students continue for a third year and take the Final City and Guilds. The other group, after the second secondary bifurcation, divides into three channels one of which constitutes the Seeondary Commercial School. The reaining two channels are for Arts and Sciences. After three years of cormercial training the students take the Royal Society of Arts examination in comnerce and enter employment except for some selected students who may proceed for a course in advanced commercial and secretarial studies. The aim to be achieved between 1963 and 1968 is to expand six existing craft schools and build six new secondary schools along this pattern. The expansion of three existing technical schools and the construction of two new ones are also envisaged. When this programs is achieved there will be an annual output of about 190 grade III artisans to enter industry, 770 craftamen with the Intermediate and 170 with the Final City and Guild Certificate. The annual output from the commercial training course will not exceed 250 Fifth Form graduates* 404 ~ lovr e- woetvv ~ ~ act*Qi~~~ e!L ~ r~ for - roo rnr lbrr~~ obo - I-v6 mai~tO ,,vO ie "," s a ez)cvi 41 (.(%A f -hil' be bmet it tIM todpiwl xtdn tiw fol. 2 of 3-5j5QO axot S19 inm irW out " oft4 1a o M cyclan90 ere i ifti th,, e- an- Inr *,a i rUm-,iL iA2.o -.- i-jf ,the , * A t naed uI rhAm 3t5 ,5,0 ogildn we w y i u.

C. Dear Dr. Hochleitner: It was a pleasure to visit with you on the telephone again the other after- noon. As I indicated to you, some interest in research in the use of educational media in Nigeria was indicated on my recent visit. However, no one seems ready to move at the present time because of the fact that a Research Council is being established in Lagos and all decisions will await their approval. Also, as I understand it, there are three proposals for re- search now in existence - one prepared by UNESCO, about which you are thoroughly informed - a second prepared by Mr. George Arms, A. I. D. Ad- visor to the Federal Ministry of Education - and the one I forwarded to you some weeks ago. At the time of my visit in Paris on my return from Nigeria, I was privileged to meet with Mr. Tor Gjesdal, Director, Department of Mass Communications, UNESCO; Mr. James McDougal, Head, Division of Educational Materials and Services, Department of Education, UNESCO; and Mr. Henny de Jong, Mass Communication Techniques Division, UNESCO, all of 'whom were interested in my proposal. A suggestion was made at that time that in some way we might collaborate, with UNESCO carrying forward full responsibility for the re- search vector, while we at Indiana concerned ourselves with laboratory and curriculum development. We would, of course, be very pleased to co- operate with UNESCO in any way that might become possible. As I have indicated to you, it is my conviction that the next move in the media field must be oriented in research. If at the same time an ongoing center for curriculum reform and media development could be established, I am certain that a genuine contribution might be made. Sincerely yours, Warren D.

You will note that "Farm Institutes" have been omitted and that the suggestions with regard to adding up other item have been incorporated. The tentatively selected projects look more balanced now, except possibly for the Western Region, the amount of which sems to have gone up considerably and with it the grand total. A remedy, if needed, would be to take 2WX M of the three new Trade Centres, thus reducing the amount for the Western Region to b2,343,000 and the grand total to &7,838,00 ($,946,OO). ATsjc Enc.

Our proposed IDA credit for roads for Liberia would be $4.5 million, and the total cost of the project would be about $6 million. Thus, Liberia has to find about $1.5 million local costs, and a contribution from Sweden to meet part of this local cost would be very acceptable to Liberia. As part of our credit we are proposing around $1.5 million to finance a general road survey. If Sweden did not wish to contribute to the local cost element of the project, they may be prepared to pay for part or all of this survey, especially if it were carried out by a Swedish firm (I understand there is a competent Swedish firm called Mannerstraale). 2. Liberia's imports from Sweden in 1961 valued $3.6 million. A large part of this, probably between $2 and 3 million, was no doubt for LAMCO, and these imports would not be repeated every year. However, presumably the use of counterpart funds could be spread over several years' imports and thus could without doubt cover any credit that Sweden might give Liberia in association with our road project. Nigeria 3. There would be plenty of scope for Sweden to make a credit to Nigeria for part of the local costs of school construction and equipment projects for which we would be making an IDA credit. Nigeria's imports from Sweden are running at about $h to 5 million annually. The remarks above about spreading the counterpart over several years would apply also in Nigeria's case if necessary. cc: Mr. Horsley Mr. LeClerc SNM:scp May 16, 1963. 14'. DX J.

Dies-.Hochleitner May 15, 1963 Ahnad Tuqan Proposal concerning the constitution of an education !ppralsal mission to Nigeria. In discussing the formation of an education appraisal mission to Nigeria, the fact should be kept in mind that many missions and comissions have been in the field before and that their reports are available. Aside from the Ashby, Archer and Cottier reports, there are the Banjo and the Dike reports on the educational systems of the Western and Eastern Regions respectively, as well as the Olduan report on the administration of primary education, the feasibility report on teacher training by the Wisconsin University Team and the Matthew report on building costs, the last three reports being for the Northern Region. For the study of the country's economy the Bank global mission# must have covered it adequately. With these points in mind, the members of an education appraisal mission to Nigeria will have an abundance of material with which to acquaint themselves. 2. On the basis of xv interim report and the tentative list of the 16 projects attached to it which the Bank may be disposed to finance, an education appraisal mission to Nigeria should consist of the following memberst 1 a General Educationalist to cover the field of general education at its various levels with all its administrative and pedagogic sides. He should also cover the teacher training aspect, 2 a Vocational Training 3pecialist to cover vocational as well as pre-vocational education. The tyrm "vocational" is used here to cover''technical Ifand "commercial" education but not "agricultural", 3 -an Agriculturalist to cover agricultural education and training, 4 - an Economist to cover manpower needs and the economic part of the mission's report. In particular he should be able to go into the details of the education budgets of the regions and the Federal Government as well as the financial contributions of local education authorities and voluntary agencies. 5 - an Architect to cover the school construction programme, the degree of readiness of projects, costs, etc. One of the members listed above will also be the leader of the uission. It is premature at this stage to take up the question oV the terms of reference of each member. This will have to be discussed in detail after the principle has been agreed upon.

SubJects Interim Report an Education Proisoets in Nigeria This in an interim report on educational projets in Nigeria which have been identified as worty of consideration for possible financing by IDA development credit and/er BImk loan. It should be pointed out at the outset that these projects have been selected on a very tentative basis. They represent no more than the opinion of one person formulated after a visit during which a vast country had to be covered in a coparativey very short time. Many more officials of government should have been contacted and more thorough discussion$ shou1d have been eonductod,1ith then before any list of projects could be put on paper. Hence the need for an appraisal mission to xamine the situation more deeply and determine priorities of need with exactitude. Therefore, the projects with which this interim report will deal should, at best, be considered as intended to stir up interest and start the wheels turning for further discussion prior to the formation of an appraisal mission. They may also be taken as preliminary material to be sumarized for incorporation in a letter which the Bank may f001 inclined to send to the Nigerian Government at this stage showing, in a very broad way, the kind of projects which, subject to further study, the Bank may finance. 2. A point rtssed in the recent Report of the Unesco Edacational Investment Progrwming MIssion to Nigeria is pertinent to what has been said in the preceding paragraph. Discussing the state of readins of projects for application for external aid, the Unesco Mission pointed out that "it would be too much to expect that all the many items in this courageous educational programe had already ... 2/ -2- been worked out to the pAint where precise application for aid could be presented. Several bites at the cherry will have to be made' &/ Developing this point fwrther, the Unes-co Mission added: "There can be no doubt that if aid could be anticipated with confidence, the preparation of a project would begin to go forward much more rapidly. We feel obliged therefore to urge with some force that the Gerinonts or agencies providing aid should not apply over-rigorous initial standards of readiness in considering otherwise suitable projects.' I This point is developed in the Unesco Mission report to the rather extreme limit of suggesting that the task of the Regional Governmnts in Nigeria would be simplified if a sum were to be offered in advance for the whole progrimm as in the case of the United Kingdom grant of 45 million. 3. What should be established now is whether it is more advisable that the Bank should wait until the Nigerian Faderal Government make up their mimd on projects to be submitted to IDA and/or the Bank for financing, or that initiative be taken from this end in a judicious way. Though the first alternative is more logical and is more in keeping with Bank practices# it is bound to lead to a great deal of delay. For it is now abundantly clear that, with the conditions prevailing in Nigeria, things cannot move quickly. Each of the three Regions has to make its own decision on the projects which it onsiders to have first priority, process now being hampered by the fact that nearly all of them are facing pressing local problems, both educational and otherwise, which make concentration on the selection of projects soehat difficult. Furthermore, projects suitable - Page 133, Chapter 8, para.3. Ditto, para 6. .- 3/ w34 for external aid, after being f inalised at the Region level, have to cone to the Co-ordinating Committee for External Aid for Education for scrutiny in preparation for submission to the Federal overnmnt. It i. easy to visuelize, when that stage is reached, how oapeUtion among the Regions my retard decision. Against the second alternative my be cited the fact that by taking the initiative the Bank may find itself campromised in relation to the projects which it had previously identified for possible financing. It is qaite conceivable, after an appraisal mission had visited the country, that some of the projectswhich appear to have priority on cursory study and as such ware communicated to the Federal ,overnment, should be dropped in view of some now factors which had come to light. 4. Despite the danger alluded to in the preceding paragraph, the advantages of the alternative that the Bank should take the initiative outweigh the disadvantages. A carafully worded letter would either obviate any meaning of commitment on the part of the Bank or *- to say the least - would very considerably reduce it. A letter from the Bank suggesting projects which, if accepted by the Federal Govertmont, would likly appeal to an appraisal mission, may end the period of hesitation from which Nigerian authorities seem to suffer at present. It may also strengthen the hands of the Federal Gorernment and make them take a firmer stand vis-a-vis any excessive dawnAs on the part of each of the Regions. 5. The first source from which projects may be tentatively selected is the recent Unesco Itission Report. In its concluding chapter is a list of 37 projects already approved by the Coordinating Committee f or External Aid for Education. These projects are repcrted to be ready for immediate consideration for external finance. Their costa total about h42.0 million of which a little under 117.8 million goes to the five uiiversities in Nigeria. Another list contains projects which -4- have not been through the Comordinating Comitteo. It onsists of 33 education projects totalling about W7.3 million in addition to 12 others for agriculture and health with an approximate total cost of 42.5 million. The grand total of the two lists is about 471.7 million for the 82 projects which the Unzec Mission had seen fit to rcommend for financing through external aid. 6. Pursuing further the subject of the 82 projects mentioned above, the Unseo Mission Report classifies them into three categories.i Estimated Cost (a) Projects for which aid has been promised .. . . . . . . 6.05 (b) Other projects suitable for early submission . . . . . . 23.27 (c) Projects that need further consideration. . . . . . . . 25,16 &65.o8 million The difference between this last total and the one given in the preceding parap'aph which accounts for about 171.8 million is due to the fact that among the 82 projects a few appear twice under different headings. 7. It is interesting to regroup the 82 projects identified by the Unesco Mission in a way which wuld show (a) what part of the 471.8 million will be spent in each of the Regions, and (b) how this amount is distributed among the various levels and kinds of education. This is done in the following tablest (a) DISTRIBUTION B!

They are suw.rarized in the attached appendix. 10. The total costs of imported mterials for the projects in Lists A & B are &2,328,000 and T2,686,000, respectively, out of the total capital costa of L6,603,000 and 69,080,000. Without exception, all of these projects are included in the Unesco Mission's reoimendations for external finanang. it should, however, be said that, aside from their state of readiness, it i difficult to see that the projects contained in Mr. Thornton's "confidential" paper are all of such high priorit as to warrant their immediate adoption. 11. In the course of informal discussions between the writer and some officials in Nigeria, they expressed their personal opinions regarding projects of high priority *hich IDA should finance. They all appear in the Unesco Xiaion's, Rport with the possible exception of one project, the National Technical Teachers Training College, vhich may have been mentioned under a different name or may have been excluded. But the writer was impressed with this project. A detailed scheme for the proposed College has been prepared by Mr. J. W. Galer, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education (Technical Education Section). The amount of 6517,000 would be needed for the implementation of the first two phases of this project. 12. To arrive at a tentative list of projects using the sources referred to in the preceeding paragraphs, some suggestions should be made before selection is attempted. The first concerns the Universities. Sines the National Universities Commission /8 has yet to arrive at final conclusions concerning the del.pysnt of universities in Nigeria and the courses of studies which each should have, it will be inadvisable at this stage to include in the tentative list aPW project related to universities. The second pertains to the expansion of primary education. In the Eastern and Western Regions, as well as in the Federal Territory, the need for primary education has been met to a saffielent degree. The Northern Region is terribly lagging behind the others in this reopect. But the writer is of the opinion that ftds required to expand primary education facilities in the Northern Region should be raised from local sources with a substantial subsidy from the Federal Government. The IDI and the BAnk, therefore, may well choose to finance projects in fields other than primary education. The third has to do with local education authorities and voluntary agencies. Although the Unesco Mission Report reoominds that funds for grants to thse bodies should be included in the requests for external finance, it may not be advisable for ID& or the Bnk to be associated with such projects. They may well be left to the care of the Regional Governments and the bodies interested in the voluntary agencies. - 3. The attached list contains projects which have been tentatively selected while keeping in mind the suggestions given in the preceding paragraphs. While it is left to the nmbers of the future appraisal mission to form their omn opinion concerning the priorities which should be given to these projects, they should, nevertheless, farm a reasonable basis for action to be taken at this stage. It is quite evident that the selected projects do not reflect sufficiently the needs of the agricultural sector. This serious deficiency might be remedied by the addition of projects for agricultural education which the agriculturalists on the Global Mission =q choose to recoinend. , ROACTS TENTATIVELY SELECTED F(t kOSWIXL FINAUCING "T USK mndor MD (N.D.

OF THE BIEAU FCI EXTERNAL AID FOR EDUCATION List A (a National High Schools (Fed.) - Ultimately 6 schools will be built, two for each region. They will be of the boarding-grawmar-school type but where special emphasis will be placed on national unity. Three of the six schools should be built at once. The total capital expenditure for building and equipment for the 6 schools is L1.84 million of which 10.5 will be for imported materials. Half of these amounts will be needed if only three schools are immediately built. Sites are being acquired and plans drawn, (b) Citienship Training Centre (Fed) - A non-academic centre on a pattern previously proved to be very succOSsful in the British (now Republic of)Cameroon, to train young men and women in community service and develop in them powers of leadership. The Centre has been moved to Jos in the North and is now functioning under tents. Of the capital cost of 499,000 the amount of L17,000 will be for imported materials. The site is already acquired and the designs prepared. (c) nmergency Science School (Fed). - The schools are to meet the shortage in secondary school students qualified in sciences and mathematics for university entrance. The school, now in temporary accommodation, has proved its worth. The need is to provide classes for an enrollment of 1,000 day and 500 evening students as well as some residential accommodation and staff quarters. Of the ii/ estimated cost of I290,WOO for capital expenditur., &000 will be for imported xaterials. Site is already acquired and iesigna prepared. (d) rammar 3chools (E) - One girl4s and two boys' schools are involved. The projoet is to increase substantially the nwt&er of children with 3chool and Highvr Certificstee. Total cost of expanding the three schools is 359,0w of which 4100,000 is for imported materials. Sites are already acquired and designs and docuants are ready for tender. (W) Rural Education Centre, 1.mudike (E) The existing centre, now trainiming ra" Ii teachers, will oe expanded to train nuch needed Grade I teachers specialised in raral science.

A new site has been acquired and plans are ready f or the work to begin. (j) Non-Governmnt Greatr Schools (W) - The need for their expansion is strongly felt. For Govermat grants to thee scheols the amount of 11,297,000 will be needed of uhich L650,000 vill be for Imported materials. (k) Trade Centres (w) - To meet the need for craftman, it has been decided to expand fou of the existing Contres so that each will have 9 trades by 1966. This will ensure an annusl output of 600 craftsmen. Including equipment (4206,000) the total capital cost is 4850,000 of which 1,375,000 is for imported materials. (a) & (b) Pert-Harcourt Technical Institute (F/9) , This is to provide technical education to most the need of industry, cosmero. and governannt services for technicians.

Tobias UNESCO Mission Report on Educational Problems in Nigeria This memorandum follows our discussion of the excellent UNESCO mission report on educational problems in Nigeria, and its applicability (1) to the work of the present global mission to Nigeria and (2) to future possible Bank consideration of loan applications from Nigeria. As you requested, I have set down a few topics on which supplementary information would be useful in the manpower and fiscal fields for such purposes. Because of Nigeria's Federal structure and the tendency to compartmentalize labor force and training institutions, it might be useful to seek such information for each territory sep- arately. 1. Present high level manpower resources - labor force in each executive, administrative, professiona&, technical, and highly- skilled clerical and manual occupation, by age, sex and domicile. 2. Estimated additional requirements by some characteristics to accomplish seven year plan. 3. Present capacity to produce in each such occupation, or undifferentiated per year (including secondary, vocational, technical schools, institutes, universities, at home and abroad). 4. Expatriates employed, presently and prospectively, by occupations. 5. Anticipated replacement needs: (a) from death, retirement and repatriation. (b) by shifting between occupations - treat as both plus and minus. 6. Identify extent of short falls. 7. Employer (both public and private) programs of in-plant training and developaent, especially at executives, technicians and craftsmen levels - yields per year. 8. Educational output - per year - by profession, occupation, or general, undifferentiated. 9.

Altogether, it is most stimu- lating and interesting. I am writing to say that a colleague, Mr. Ahmad Tuqan, will be arriving in Lagos for a preliminary investigation of Nigerian human resources and developsent problems for the Bank, which could result in later action by the Bank. He has read the just-completed UNESCO edu- cational investments program mission report and has some knowledge of the Ashby Commisaion Report. I have recuanended that he call on you for orientation, guidance and current information, both with respect to Nigerian education problems and with respect to other programs of external aid that may be in effect or gestating. I should be both personally and institutionally grateful for your counsel. Mr. Tuqan is a former Minister of Education in Jordan, and will have with you many mutual .pr'YIi1.na1 interistvs. I know you will enjoy his company.

Dear .Tuqan, Thank you so much for your letter of Februa 19th. Just before we went to ashington the Report was sent to my namesake who is the U.N.E.S.C.O. representative in Lagos and we have been waiting for his comments. These we received only yesterday and fortunately they are so small that we have already been able to make the necessary corrections. 4ith the wisdom of hindsight it is a pity we did not send the ieport to the Nigerian Government and to yourselves shortly after we returned from Kashington. At all events, the Report has now been revised and the binding will be put on tomorrow. I have proposed to Ewers that a few copies should be sent immediately by airmail to Lagos and to the Bank, and that this should be done from Glasgow. He can then send off a letter of transmission under separate cover. If the copies of the Aeport have to be sent to laris, an. then posted on from there, this will add at least a week to the time re4uired. There has now been a maddening complication in that Ewers is away and his Deputy does not want me to post anything until he comes back. I understand he is in fact due back at the end of this week -nd I am determined to get the Report off by the beginning of next week. Jack vilson and myself spent some time examining the projects in the second list, i.e., "other projects suitable for early submission". 'e found that the list of those that we had described to you as being important exhausted almost all the itemis in this category! 4e have, therefore, tried to cover the point somewhat differently in the revised notes which you will find in the front of the list itself. With regard to the educational plan as a whole, we have, of course, dropped out completely from these summary lists those projects which seem to us to be definitely 1.S3 ii 2. unsuitable for aid, in particular the requests for assistance with primary education in the Nest, the East and the Federal Territory. 'With regard to the rest, it is important to realise that the various parts of the Plan are interdependent. It is, therefore, possible to ask whether these various parts seem to be in reasonably the right proportion to one another and this we have sought to do in the text. What is not possible is to arrange them in a descending scale of importance - 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - because each one rests so much on others. I hope, however, you will find it all reasonably clear when you get the revised text and your people will, of course, be able to obtain more detailed information about some of the projects later. Yours sincerely, -INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOR'ENT OF F I C E M E M 0 R A N D U M TO: Mr. T.V. Andersen DATE: March 1, 1963 FROM: L.J.C. Evans SUBJECT: Terms of Reference--Nigeria 1. You should arrive in Lagos on or about March 4, 1963 to join an economic mission which will be headed by Mr. McIvor, or in his absence, by Mr. Horsley. Your specific responsibilities will be to: a) update the information needed on the agricultural economy of Nigeria for an economic report; b) review the progress made in agriculture during the first year of operation of the Six-Year Development Plan; c) having regard to national economic needs, to government plans and resources and to the degree of preparation of projects, determine so far as possible priorities for agricultural development and assess the prospects of progress during the next two years; and d) identify projects in agriculture which appear potentially suitable for financing by Bank/IDA or by members of the Consultative Group. 2. You should consult, to the extent necessary, with the FAO Agricultural Mission now in Nigeria. 3. Throughout this mission, you should work in close collaboration with Mr. A.M.M. McFarquhar, Consultant Agricultural Economist, who is expected to join you in Kaduna about March 8. On your return to the Bank about April 10, you should bring with you a back-to-office report and prepare your part of the mission report. Cleared with Area and cc: Mr. Moussa cc: Messrs.

Dear Dr. Hochleitner: This is to thank you for your helpful suggestions to me over the telephone yesterday afternoon in connection with the project I am proposing in educational curriculum development for the Eastern Region of Nigeria. At your suggestion, I am enclosing a copy of the proposal and will hope to visit with Professor Tom Iilson in Nigeria and with Dr. Jim EcDougal at UNESCO on my return.

Wilson, University of Glasgow, GLASGOW, Scotland. Dear Professor Wilson, It was a source of great pleasure and enlightenment to us to have the opportunity of sharing with you and Mr. Jack Wilson your experience in Nigeria. Dr. Dies-Hochleitner, Chief of our Division, returned from Tunisia last weekend and was in the office yesterday. The first thing he asked about was a report of our meeting with you, which we were glad to give. Later in the day, Dr.Dies met other people in the Bank and - as he told me - Nigeria was the subject of discussion. Apparently the Bank has become "Nigeria- conscious", if you permit the expression. It seemed to Dr. Dies that the prospects of Nigeria receiving substantial development loans for education were excellent and that things would be moving faster than we would expect in ordinary circumstances. I am sure you would be interested to hear this good news particularly when I tell you that some of those whom Dr. Dies saw yesterday were people whose offices are in the "upper floors" of the Bank. This brings me to the real reason for sending this letter to you. I think that it would help very much if quicker steps are taken, while the going is good - as far as the Bank is concerned. This means that we should receive copies of your report as quickly as possible. We will then have enough time to do the necessary desk studies now, instead of having to wait until the official request for IDA development credit is received by the Bank. Much precious time may be wasted in the interval. If, as we all hope, this proposal appeals to you, we would appreciate receiving three or four copies of the report as soon as it is ready at your end. I am sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Jack Wilson for his information. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, 0. Ahmed Tuqarz/gs Abead'Tuqan.

As in other areas, it has been practically a'3suaed that Western systems of education can effectively be transplanted. The develop- ing nations have inherited primary, middle, and secondary schools, teacher training colleges and universities with curricula intact. Harbison (3:16) observes that these traditional systems have resulted in surpluses of un- employed intellectuals while, at the same time, spawning hoards of dissatisfied primary school leavers inadequately trained to do useful wrk and no longer content to stay on the farms. He speaks of serious manpower shortages for agricultural assistants, veterinnrians, agronomists, nurses, engineers, and teachers and calV for new strategies whereby schools can more eocmomically prepare boys and girls far later job oriented training by their employing institutions. He writes: S...developing countrie s should concentrate their attentian an finding new techniques of education which can be utilised effectively by large numbers of teachers who themselves have had little more than primary education and which can maximise the services of very small groups of highly trained personnel. The application of new teaching techniques - visual aids, pro- grammed learning, instruction by radio and television, revised and simplified curricula and texts offer a real challenge. (3:25). Neff, in a similar discussion, refers to "the problem of providing teaching" rather than teachers because such a phrase allows for technological and methodological development which can increase the supply of teaching without Increasing the number of teachers. He calls for systems of instruc- tion "which my be conducted through various media, such as books, filmstrips, movies, television, radio, and teaching machines." (5:21). Though educational systems appropriate to the needs of the developing countries do not in fact exist, guidelines for creating them have been sug- gested. Carpenter outlines a systems approach to education as follovs? defined. "(a) Achievement or performance goals are (b) These goals are then translated into sub-system of general and specific functions (c) The means of are speoified, and components executing t'hese functions of tbe systems are defined to include hon*n capabilities, in the system. machines, materials and their interaction which between those functions (d) Distinctions are made can best be performed by instrumontation and materials and sequences with knovu characteristics.

(1:91) Purpose of the Proposed Project This proposal would create a pilot educational media (instructional technology) and science curriculm research and coordinating center in the Eastern Region of Nigeria. Specifically, it is pm posed that Nigerian scientists and educators, under the authority of the Eastern Region Ministry of Education, would work with an Indiana University research and devalopment advisory team, to ac- complish the following objectives: 1. Coordinate with ESI, UNESCO, Harvard, and other agencies in reviewing and clarifying goals and objectives in primary science education. 2. Develop specific segments of the primary science curriculum consonant with established objectives. 3. Conduct a region-wide economic analyses of both manpower and educational media resources and needs, i.e. science teachers, supervisors, texts, programmed materials, films, filmstrips, radio, television, realia, posters, flipcharts, etc. 4. Develop strategies in the employment of combinations of teachers, teams, resource persons, and media to achieve determined objectives, 5. Train teachers and teams, produce media and field test prototypes. 6. Conduct a variety of strategies in a variety of locations on a cyclical basis over a number of years modifying and retesting as findings indicate. 7. Train Nigerian counterparts in the techniques employed in carrying oan continued development and researh. 8. Report findings. 9. Establish an ongoing educational media laboratory and research center which would continue to develop all areas of curriculum and serve as a model and training center for others in West Africa. 6 I Reasons for SelectiN Astern NeriA as a Hoet for the Pilot Project The reasons for suggestlzg Eastern Nigeria as a possible location for carrying forward the proposed pilot project include the folloringL 1. Eastern Nigeria has adopted an aggressive approach to education (as have the other Regions). It has acoce- pliWhed nearly universal primary education and is rapidly incressing the numbers of its semndary schools and teacher training colleges. 2. The Eastern Region Minister of Educatin and Chief Inspector have indicated a strong interest in the role of ednational media as evidenced both in pronouncements and by their recep- tivity to the Indiana University/AID Audio-Visual Comunica- timens team mw working with the Ministry of Education and to other educational agencies. 3. A number of agencies is involved in science ourriculm and educational media development in Nigeria, viss UNEMCO, ESI, Harvard University and Indiana Viversity, among others. The coordination of these efforts logically rests with the Ministry of Education. h.

(c) An economic analysis of manpower (science teachers and super- visors) and educational resources and needs. (d) The development of initial strategies in the employment of combinations of teachers, resource persons, programmed text materials, radio, television, film, filmstrips, posters, flip charts, etc. in primary education on a pilot basis and throughout the region. (e) The development of tentative research designs which would permit the collection of appropriate data to test the ef- fectiveness of a number of teaching strategies. Project personnel required during phase one would include the project director, science, curriculum and measurements experts, and a short ter economic advisor, plus an administrative assistant to get under- way with the purchase of comodities and a full time secretary. Phase two. 1 year duration The second phase would involve the collection and production of proto- typo materials for selected science units, including the writing of text materials, programmed materials for teaching machine, educational broadcast scripts, flip charts, film materials, etc. and initial testing. This phase would require a team composed of a project director, scientist, curriculum expert, educational measurements expert, programmed text writer and teaching machines specialist, radio and TV broadcast specialist, photographer and graphic artist/printer. 11 This team would work with Nigerian Nationals serving as counter- parts. Some would be participants returned frA= training In the States, others receiving training on the project, others in official admdnistrative and advisory capacitiss. Phase three. 3 years duration During each of the three years of phase 3, the various strategies developed and tested in earlier phases would be employed and tested on cyclical bases in selected primary schools. During the second and third project years, follow-up evaluations of work done by pupils in secondary schools who had gone through the experimental program would be conducted. This phase would require the full team complement recommended for phase three. During this period, it would be hoped that the University staff could begin to turn their duties over to Nigerians. Phase four. 6 months duration During this last phase, it is believed that one, or at most two University staff members, should remain in Nigeria to assist in securing an ongoing coordination, research and development center. 12 VI Funding Because of the sise and nature of the ovaral task to be accomplished, it is proposed that funding be sought both from foundation and A.I.D. sources. 13 L 'onference Odf African States on the Development of uatin n Africa, Addin Pba t,: 2M4 161, 72ina IRp1 2, Dart, Francis E., "The Rub of Calturej."

FORM No. 59 (2.55) CROSS REFERENCE SHEET COMMUNICATION: Letter No. h DATED: February 12, 1963 aoussa and Williams TO: Ilessrs. FROM: Joseph Fajans (Nigerian Office) FILED UNDER: Nigeria - General Negotiations SUMMARY: No.4 Lagos, February 12,1963 Dear Pierre and John, 1. Yesterday, I called on 14r.Thomas Wilson of Unesco. While this was our first encounter and while I do recall his past indiscretions, I was favourably impressed. 2. The Unesco mission report is ready. It is being edited in Paris and will be transmitted to the NigGovt. at the end of this month. The report, which is based on The educational programs contained in the 1962/68 Plan, demonstrates the criti- cal gaps in education and describes what aid is already assured to deal with some of them. It emphasizes secondary and t6echnical cpoling. 3. Mr.Wilson firmly believes that the most important project in the educational field is the Secondary Teachers College a Zaria in ahe North. He supports his belief by a sound argument. The project has been fully planned and engineered, and bills of quantities are being prepared, by Unesco School Construction Bureau at Khartoum. A German member of the Bureau will be here shortly and I may see him next Sunday. One hundred and fifty students were taken in last fall and work in temporary buildings under 7 Unesco teachers being paid by UN Special Fund. The College would want to admit another 150 students selected from among 700 appli- cants. The cost of permanent, properly equipped buildings for 300 students (first qo9o phase) would amount to 1477,000; the second phase, which would increase attendance to 450, would cost L302,000. h. This project is apparently fully described in the Unesco report. If we had a member of the educational division on the economic mission, who could also ap- praise this project, IDA might be able to consider a modest credit to Nigeria within the next few months. I would recowmend This in the light of the general situaTion here._ COPY/gs 12 February 1963 FROURAMMING MISSIONS (Suggestions from the Nigerian Mission) 1. What is needed in report: (a) Very brief description of country, geographic, demographic, economic. (b) Outline of country' s General Plans for Development and stage they have reached. Economic basis. Forecasts of manpower needs. (c) The Economist member' comments on (b) (d) (i) Education system and its present stage of development. Briefly. (ii) Education target in relation to Development Plan and relation of these targets to one another. (iii) Costs and possible phasing of educational development. (iv) Appraisal of proposed education plan, its phasing and details - this will be both educational and economic. (e) LIST OF PROJECTS arranged in some agreed way. Possibly - (a) Those already drawing assistance (b) Recommended for assistance immediately (c) Recommended for assistance in next 3 years (d) Recommended after (c). 2. Points to watch in Report (a) Brevity. Readers are busy men who want to be able to get a clear picture quickly. Moreover clearcut recommendations must be made. (b) Elaboration may be given in appendices but should generally be avoided. (c) For benefit of possible aid-givers educational advisers include (in appendix probably) explanation of terms which do not have world-wide recognition or which can have varying meanings in different countries. (d) Capability of local administration and machinery for implementation of development projects. This may affect spread of aid. (e) Explain what are bases of estimates for items (i.e. costs) made in country being programmed. Any factors which appear generally unusual may have some local significance which could be explained with advantage. (f) Clear lists of projects at the various stages of readiness referred to above. .. 2/ -2- In the Field (a) Get a list of reports over last 5 years and obtain those which are likely to be relevant. (b) After clarifying educational system itself, get HQ's list of development projects, their phasing and state of readiness. (c) Ascertain the mechanics of approval of proposals and their implementation at HQ and in areas where they are to be undertaken. (i) At what Government level is administrative and executive decision and action taken. (ii) Who will be involved in implementation of schemes at grass roots level? What is their position and what the amount of and procedure for financing and consultation. (e.g. Where voluntary agencies will be involved in actually setting up schools, from where do they get their money, and what consultations are there with them?) (d) W out into the field (or provinces) and check programme details there with representatives of people who will be involved. There may be prcjects, or maybe likely project proposals, of which 14Q as yet knows nothing. HQ may not know, either, present position, or local problems of implementation. Similarly local officers may not be conversant with HQ position; this will need discreet handling. (e) Division of labour: (i) there are clear advantages in division of labour but also dangers of compartmentalisation, when both a broad overall view is needed as well as a careful examination of detail. This must be carefully watched. (ii) Some team may want both a dogsbody to help them around and to attend to details and a rapporteur. The same person may not necessarily undertake both duties. (f) Conferences between team. These are, of course, essential. From these conferences will come the plan of operations and modifications in the plan which early work in the field may indicate. At the conferences also watch will be kept on over-elaboration and unnecessary detail. The conferences should also prevent the over-compartmentalisation already referred to. There will also be a danger of over-administration. (g) Drafting report. Team will wish to decide its own method, but two possible ways are: (i) Each member of team will circulate his recommendations with brief notes to other members of team for discussion at conference. The notes would show his reasons and any special factors which led to recommendations. From the recommendations, after discussion in conference, the rapporteur would write the report consulting the various authors as necessary. (ii) Each member of the team responsible for a number of chapters, the whole then to be unified by the rapporteur. .. 3/ -3- (h) Checking details and testing ideas. At the finalisation and report writing stage there may well be a number of points which require checking and some elaboration. It will be helpful to make arrangements for this while still in the field. The Ashby Comission were fortunate in that they had a period in the field which, as well as anything else, gave them a chance to check details and test out their proposals. (i) Singleness of purpose. If any member of a team tries to do two jobs - one in the team and one out of it - there will be a danger of damage to morale. This must be avoided at all costs. (j) The UNESCO Chief in the area might well prepare a draft itinerary and list of people to meet. This might be considered at the first meeting of the team or earlier by the leader. Modifications might then be desirable. The "itinerary,etc" would not only include details of places to visit and people to meet, but also, briefly, reasons for the proposals. (k) Although it may well be subjective, a clear-cut list of projects must be drawn up of schemes which, given aid, can be put into effect iimediately, soon and fairly soon, distinguishing the category into which the scheme falls. This will help the aid-giving bodies in deciding what they must look into, and possibly help themselves. There will be advantages in checking this with HQ of country's Ministry of Education.

This will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss the best ways of approaching mission reports of this kind, with a view to increasing effective cooperation between IDA and UNESCO to the benefit of the countries involved.

Diez-Hochlei SUBJECT: UNSCO'S mESS 0GERIA As you know, during the briefing sessions we had last November in Washington with the members of UNESCO's investment programming mission going to Nigeria, we agreed on the advisability of having one or two members of the Mission come back to Washington once their draft report is ready, i.e., around the end of January. In my conversations with Mr. R.

I agree that further discussions in Washington after the mission comes back and be- fore the report starts taking shape would be very useful in certain cases. Concerning the Nigeria mission, I have given instructions that two of its swnbers should visit Washington a second time. We shall forward their names in due course. The group is staying on somewhat longer than was original- ly planned. They are now due back in Paris on or around 31 December and may then break up for a few days for visits home and so forth. I would therefore suggest 7-9 January as tentative dates for consultations at IDL headquarters. As this is still more or less within the holiday season, I would appreciate your letting me know if the proposed dates are suitable before we make final arrangements. Yours sino ely, Malco S.

The detailed and thorough discussion which preceded the mission t s visit to Nigeria and the first post-mission meeting with your staff make this an excellent opportunity to examine our procedures for cooperation with IDA and perhaps to establish, in more detail, the form and content of a report which would meet your needs as well as our own. Diez Hochleitner indicated that it should be possible to establish a statement on the work of the Nigerian mission which could serve as a basis for discussion on future arrangements. We would, of course, welcome an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of our present procedures and I should be grateful if you could let me know if you are contemplating some such procedure as suggested by Diez Hochleitner. We are now preparing our 1963 programme which will include at least seven or eight missions. Since we have to start work on recruitment for some of the missions very soon it would obviously be useful to reach agreement with you as early as possible. Yours sincerely, Colin D.

DATE: November 21, 1962. FROM: R. Diez-Hochleitner SUBJECT: UNESCO Investment Programming Mission to Nigeria Two meetings were held during the 19th and 20th of November with NESCOts Investment Programming Mission to Nigeria, the first of which Mrs. Ryshpan attended, and the second by Messrs. Ballantine, Benveniste, and Tuqan. At both meetings Mr. McIvor and myself were present. We discussed the UNESCO Missionts terms of reference and the parti- cular educational problems to be encountered in Nigeria, as well as IDA criteria for financing educational projects - taking particular advantage of the recent experience of IDA educational missions to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The meetings were very frank in trying to use the Nigerian case to establish a better pattern of cooperation between IDA and UNESCO missions in the future. The meetings also proved most useful in the opinion of all the participants in clarifying the interests of both parties involved in avoiding duplication of effort, or even misunderstandings. Particular attention was paid to the outline of the report, which would be most useful to IDA in case the Nigerian Government requested, in the future, IDL's assistance in financing educational projects. It was agreed that this UNESCO Mission is to evaluate the Nigerian educational plan in the light of their educational development plan, and try to establish priorities identifying projects which could or should be financed by external sources. It was pointed out that only a certain degree of detail on each project would prove possible, since the time limitation may not provide opportunity for working projects in the detailed manner IDA would need. Participants at the meetings were most favourable to the idea of having one or several members of the UNESCO Mission to Nigeria return to Washington once a first draft of their mission report is available, in order to have our reactions to it, and to provide an opportunity to follow-up the brief meetings held these past two days. cc: 01r.

The following are extracts of the consultant contracts for this mission : "The terms of reference of the mission are as follows : (a) to establish priority requirements in educational fields, referring particularly to the Ashby Report on "Investments in Education",. the Archer Report and the subsequent Government White Paper, "Educa- tional Development, 1961-70"; (b) to examine the growth of agriculture and industry and its demands for improving or expanding educa- tional facilities at all levels3 (c) to make recommendations in written form on the investment requirements of the educational develop- ment programme and, more particularly, on projects within the programme for which. development capital might be sought from external sources, both bilateral and multilateral. The mission will also bear in mind possible technical and pre-investment assistance of various kinds." In addition, specific tasks are being assigned to each team member. For example, Prof. Wilson, economist and leader of the group, will concern himself more specifically with the following : (a) "to present a general analysis of the economic situation in Nigeria, particularly as it relates to needs for capital investments in education; Mr. J.H. Williams Assistant Director Department of Operations - Africa International Bank for Reconstruction and Development Washington 25, DO.C -2- (b) to furnish elements of a purely economic nature to assist the other members of the Mission in establishing educational priorities; (c) to estimate possible development credits relating to national plans for the development of educa- tion in Nigeria."

H. Williams DATE: January 4, 1962 FROM: R. F. Skillings SUBJECT: NIGERIA - Education in Nigeria In connection with Mr. Demuth's forthcoming talk with Mr. Adiseshiah it may be recalled that in the summer of 1961 the economic mission heard in Nigeria that Mr. Adiseshiah had been traveling in the country and suggest. ing that IDA funds might be available for Nigerian education. An article appeared in the press at that time suggesting that IDA funds had already been offered and attributing the information to Mr. Thomas Wilson, UNESCO Representative in Lagos (and a member of the Bank t s survey mission to Uganda). Mr. Wilson later approached the mission and asked whether it were true that an IDA credit was well advanced; the mission, of course, denied it. I think our position would be that IDA would always be happy to con- sider well-conceived, high-priority educational projects in Nigeria. Follow- ing the Ashby Report educational development in Nigeria has attracted the interest of many foreign and international bodies with money and teachers to provide. It is not clear to us that IDA could usefully add very much. In any case it is likely to be some time before well-formulated projects are ready, except possibly for universities, which the mission felt were not top priority.
