For many years educators and librarians have felt the need of a check list and index to the publications of the Office of Education and the Federal Board for Vocational Education. So many different series have been issued from time to time that it has been almost impossible for librarians to know definitely what constitutes a complete set of these publications. It has been more than 25 years since the last complete list of publications of the Office of Education was compiled (Bulletin, 1910. No. 3), and, in the intervening years, many new series have been issued. No complete list of the publications of the Federal Board for Vocational Education has ever been issued. With these thoughts in mind, it was thought advisable to prepare at this time a complete list of all publications of the Office of Education from 1910 to 1936, supplementing Bulletin, 1910, No. 3, and to include with it a list of the printed publications of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The accompanying list is issued in two parts, Part I listing publications of the Office of Education; and Part II, listing the publications of the Vocational Division of the Office of Education and its predecessor, the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The various series are listed in alphabetical order and publications are arranged chronologically under each series. An index is provided for Part I and Part II publications.

The Office of Education is engaged in the preparation of a series of basic studies on education in a number of foreign countries. These studies are a part of a program to promote American understanding of educational conditions in these countries and also to furnish American college registrars, students of comparative education, and those in Government or private agencies engaged in international educational activities with data on foreign education. The scope and the text of such documents have varied from time to time depending on the nature of the need. This bulletin is based on data gathered by Dr. Abul H. K. Sassani. While data include necessary information needed by school officials who deal with student transfers, the scope of the material presented is wide enough to be useful to scholars in the field of comparative education, particularly those who are interested in knowing the role that education plays in the life of this new Moslem State. The reader will find comparatively more detailed information on higher institutions of learning than in any other phase of education in Pakistan. The bulletin is organized into the following chapters: (1) Pakistan and her people; (2) Educational development; (3) Kindergarten and elementary education; (4) Secondary education; (5) Technical and vocational education; (6) Teacher education; and (7) Higher education. A bibliography is included. (Contains 2 charts, 7 tables, and 18 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

The materials in this collection first appeared in issues of Soviet Education, a journal of translations from Soviet sources, published by the same publisher, since 1958. An earlier collection, "Education in the USSR," appeared in 1963. An introductory essay is provided by George S. Counts who has served as an editorial advisor to "Soviet Education." Counts discusses the factors which impede outsiders' understanding of Soviet education and briefly discusses its most fundamental and distinctive enduring features, such as its role, scope, focus of power, and social goals, the latter requiring great emphasis on the social sciences. Arranged under these topics: Soviet Youth, Educational Psychology, Preschool Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Higher Education, Grade Repeating, Mathematics Education, Genetics Education, Programmed Instruction, Communist Upbringing, Economics of Education, the 28 articles from the period 1963-1967, are taken primarily from Sovetskaia pedagogika, Narodnoe Obrazovanie, Nachal'naia shkola. The remaining 11 selections are from other journals and national newspapers. A final article gives a statistical summary of Soviet education through 1967, including figures for the Russia of 1914.

Education in Greece is examined in this document. The first section describes the basic system. Reform legislation of 1976 and 1977 modernized Greek education. The new laws required that school instruction at all levels be given in demotic or spoken Greek rather than formal or purist Greek; that compulsory school attendance be extended from six to nine years; and that vocational and technical education be reorganized as major components of secondary and higher education. The present structure of the educational system is comprised of four levels: primary (6 years of instruction), lower secondary (gymnasium, three years), upper secondary (lyceum, three years), and higher or postsecondary education. Some vocational/technical schools at the lower secondary level still remain but are to be incorporated into the gymnasium by 1983. The Greek educational system is highly centralized and is headed by the Minister of National Education and Religion. Education at all public institutions (including universities) is free of tuition. Private education is available. The remaining sections of the document examine the following parts of the system in detail: elementary education, secondary education, vocational and technical education, higher education, teacher education, musical education, and adult education. Numerous tables are provided. (Author/RM)
