BACKGROUND

History of the Center dates back to when SLMES appointeda feasibility team to determine the feasibility oi establishinga regional center for Education in Science and Lathematics SE Asia The report of the feasibility team was examined aLthe technical workshop held in Kuaia Lumpur Malaysia in July1966 and further discussed by a Select Committee of PermanentSecretaries of the Ministries of Education of SEAMES countriesin Bangkok during October i966 This report together withreports on nine other various SEAMES projects was presented tothe Second Conference of the Mfinistries of Education held inManila during November 1967 and the Regional Education Centerfor Science and Mathematics (RECSAM) was one of the five regionalcenters approved under SEAMES at this conference

In May 1967 the Steering Committee for the proposed RECSAMcomposed of two delegates from each of the six participatingcountries held its first meeting in Penang Malaysia At thismeeting the Steering Committee developed a budget to carry out

certain pre-project activitiij thereby enabling it to identifythe problems of teaching Science and Mathematics in this regionand to prepare a Ilan of Oplevations for the Regional CenterAs a result of a request made to th3 luS (overnment throughSEAI4ES for the necessary funds to carry out pre-projectactivities the first Lettev of Agoeaeut was sigued on the30th of June 1967 botweet- MtLisLer of JLducation Malaysiaand the US Ambassador to Nrtiysia obligaLing US50000toward financing the pre-proect activities of tie RegionalCenter for the Iinerim phace suiy to Deqember 1968

A Task Force Composed of Lop-level educators from themember countries representing the five subject areas of BiologyChemistry Elementary Science Mathematics and 4ihysics met forthe first time in Singapore during June 1967 to draw up guideshylines for National Seminars in Science ond Mathenatics to beheld in all member countries As a result six such seminarswere held between July 20 and August 15 1967

The first sixteen months Of the interim operation whichbegnn July 1957 were devoted to developing the Five YearDevelopment Plan including a detailed syllabus for each of thefive disciplines (Biology Chemistry Elementary ScienceMathematics and Physics) through the Task Force mentioned aboveTemporary office space was provided by the GOX through theMalayan Teachers College at Penang In addition to the officespace the College also offered laboratories classrooms andthe use of a new library Supporting staff have been providedby the Ministry of Education which also assisted in funding-raining courses opened to SEAMES participants held duringAugust 1968

In addition to drawing up the Five Year Development Planthe Center has conducted and is continuing to -unduct some trainingcourses and to carry out some of its Information and ClearingHouse activities During August 1966 twenty participants attendedcourses in Scottish Integrated Science and Nuffield 0 levelscience with assistance from the United Kingdom which providedlecturers and course material In April 1969 twenty participantattended a High School Teachers Refresher Course followed inMay by a BSCS Adaptation Course held for twenty-three partLcipants

History of the Center dates back to when SLMES appointeda feasibility team to determine the feasibility oi establishinga regional center for Education in Science and Lathematics SE Asia The report of the feasibility team was examined aLthe technical workshop held in Kuaia Lumpur Malaysia in July1966 and further discussed by a Select Committee of PermanentSecretaries of the Ministries of Education of SEAMES countriesin Bangkok during October i966 This report together withreports on nine other various SEAMES projects was presented tothe Second Conference of the Mfinistries of Education held inManila during November 1967 and the Regional Education Centerfor Science and Mathematics (RECSAM) was one of the five regionalcenters approved under SEAMES at this conference

In May 1967 the Steering Committee for the proposed RECSAMcomposed of two delegates from each of the six participatingcountries held its first meeting in Penang Malaysia At thismeeting the Steering Committee developed a budget to carry out

The broad objectiveis of the Center as approved by SEAHECTo help participating countries in improving teaching ofscience and mathematics in the Region in order to lay thafoundations for meeting the technically and scientificallytrained fanpcwc requiremen-o of ARe r i i9roposed tostart initially at the elementary and secondary levels and toinvolve teacher-training institutions and Colleges of EducationFaculties of Mathematics and Science and other Faculties as maybe necessary in implementing the progrms The Center will ctduplicate but instead coniipiemeilL the efiorts and programs ofexisting educational academic and research centers in the membercountries It is important that these national centers developin parallel with the Regional Center and gather strength andmomentum through close articulation and coordination with itProgram priorities of the Center therefore should be given toselective activities which will bring maximum benefit to asmany member countries as possible and which could mosteconomically and efficiently be offered at the Centerreturning from training at the Center will act at

Educators catalysts totrain additional personnel required in the various membercountries

elementary and secondary levels will involve two broad programn

Improving the teaching of Science and M4athematics at the which would improve (1) subJect content through syllabus revLsi(csand (2) the tecuique for transmitting this content to the student

BACKGROUND

History of the Center dates back to when SLMES appointeda feasibility team to determine the feasibility oi establishinga regional center for Education in Science and Lathematics SE Asia The report of the feasibility team was examined aLthe technical workshop held in Kuaia Lumpur Malaysia in July1966 and further discussed by a Select Committee of PermanentSecretaries of the Ministries of Education of SEAMES countriesin Bangkok during October i966 This report together withreports on nine other various SEAMES projects was presented tothe Second Conference of the Mfinistries of Education held inManila during November 1967 and the Regional Education Centerfor Science and Mathematics (RECSAM) was one of the five regionalcenters approved under SEAMES at this conference

In May 1967 the Steering Committee for the proposed RECSAMcomposed of two delegates from each of the six participatingcountries held its first meeting in Penang Malaysia At thismeeting the Steering Committee developed a budget to carry out
