SEMAINE D’ETUDE SUR LE ROLE DE L'ANALYSE ECONOMETRIQUE ETC, 1095 same strategy may be adopted with advantage in the less ad- vanced countries. What is urgently needed is to lay the found- ations, with as wide a base as possible, for a country-wide system of school education oriented to science and, at the same time, to develop advanced studies of science and tech- nology and research at the highest level. The school system must fit into the economic life of the general mass of the people and have its grass roots in the villages. It must offer facilities for training technicians and technical personnel for science and ‘echnology and also supply candidates of outstanding merit for admission to higher scientific and technological institutions. 5. NEED OF DIRECT AID FOR SCIENCE 6.1. I shall offer, briefly, a few suggestions for giving direct aid for the development of science in the less advanced coun- ‘ries. I have stressed the need of building up a system of school education with a definite orientation to science. It would be, however, a fatal mistake to establish an expensive system of sducation on the model of the advanced countries which would have little relevance to local needs and would be beyond the means of the national economy. It is necessary to evolve a system, through experimentation and trial and success, which would be within the means of the national economy. The ap- proach must be therefore to use teaching aids which are easily available or can be made available on a large scale and at a low cost. As most of the pupils will be living in villages, it would be of great advantage if agriculture and some of the rural industries can be adopted as a base for the teaching of science. The programme may consist largely of nature studies, observ- ations, and experiments which can be done with the help of simple articles, specimens, etc., likely to be locally available or which can be constructed with local materials. ig] Mahalanobis I - pag. 27
