THE AFRICN PRIMARY SCIENCE PROGRAMME (APSP) HAD AS ITS MAJOR GOALS (1) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW IDEAS IN TEACHING SCIENCE IN AFRICAN PRIMARY SCHOOLS; (2) PRODUCTING MATERIALS DESIGNED FOR USE IN AFRICAN TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGES; (3) IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM THROUGH MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT; AND (4) EVENTUAL PHASING OUT OF OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AND THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA.

Abstract
TO ASSIST AID IN ACHIEVING THESE GOALS THE SCIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR AFRICA (SEPA) WAS FORMED. SEPA IS ONE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISES OF ITS KIND. SIMILAR ATTEMPTS IN OTHER SUBJECT AREAS HAVE NOT SUCCEEDED IN ACHIEVING THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT, PRESTIGE OR EFFECTINVENESS THAT PRESENTLY CHARACTERIZES SEPA. IT HAS ENCOURAGED INNOVATION AND LOCAL ADAPTATION, WHILE ENHANCING THE ROLE OF THE MINISTRIES AS WELL AS THAT OF THE CLASSROOM TEACHER. MATERIALS PRODUCTION IS ON SCHEDULE. BOTH THE SCIENCE EDUCATION HANDBOOK AN THE TEACHER TRAINING GUIDE SHOULD BE READY FOR DISTRIBUTION BEFORE FY 76. EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO UNDERTAKE RESEARCH IN TEACHER TRAINING AND MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT WITH THE AID OF INCREASING INSTRUCTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS. THE RESIDENT TRAINING PROGRAM AT NJALA HOLDS MUCH PROMISE FOR PROVIDING A CADRE OF TRAINED PERSONNEL WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON LOCAL CURRICULA.
