The present study is one of the regular series of Office of Education bulletins presenting salient features and analysis of the educational systems of other countries. Such studies in the field of comparative education are designed to serve educators, educational institutions and organizations concerned with the planning and conduct of programs in educational exchange, educational development of various countries; and other educational purposes. This study on Venezuela deals with one of the Latin American republics faced by major problems in its educational development. It aims to bring to the reader an understanding of Venezuela's educational patterns and needs, within the framework of the country's economic and social situation. Part I, Backgrounds, describes: (1) The history of the country--Spain and the colony, and the promise of independence; (2) The history of education (1498-1935)--the Colonial Period, educational thinkers, achievements (1810-88), the governments (1829-1935), and education in 1935; and (3) The challenge following the release from tyranny--the governments (1935-58), education (1936-58), and the challenge. Part II, Education Today, informs readers about: (1) Administration--the Ministry of Education, and budget; (2) Elementary and normal school education; (3) Secondary and higher education--Liceos and Colegios, and higher education; (4) Vocational education and education in the fine arts--technical education, social service training, and applied and fine arts; and (5) Some problems, observations, and conclusions--education to avoid work, rural education, national examinations, politics and education, and the plight of the Criollo. A bibliography is included. (Contains 58 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

This report, developed pursuant to Title X, Section 1001 (d), of the National Defense Education Act of 1958, is organized in three parts. Part I is an account of the nature, scope, and volume of federally sponsored programs in colleges and universities of the United States and the institutions which participate in them. This description is directed toward the request for full information about federally sponsored programs. Part II, which is based on a study performed for the Office of Education by the Brookings Institution, reports findings concerning significant and specific concomitants of federally sponsored activity as seen in a sample of 36 colleges and universities. The institutions include 12 universities that are heavily involved in Federal programs, 12 universities that are less involved, and 12 strong undergraduate colleges. This part examines the effects of present Federal programs on institutions of higher education as factors for developing policies and procedures that will strengthen the educational programs and objectives of higher education institutions. Part III discusses the implications of the information presented in Parts I and II for policies and procedures of higher education institutions, and makes specific recommendations. A selected bibliography is included. (Contains 1 footnote and 4 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

In organization, they exemplify better than most other institutions the most effective relationship of campus instruction, research, and educational assistance for the people of all age groups through extension services. The basic purpose of this bulletin is to present the laws and rulings affecting resident instruction in the land-grant colleges and universities in the 50 States and Puerto Rico. It is, therefore, in large part a revision of the bulletin entitled &quot;Land-Grant Colleges and Universities: A Federal-State Partnership&quot; published in 1952. This bulletin contents include: (1) A Proclamation by the President of the United States, on the centennial of the establishment of the national system of land-grant universities and colleges; (2) Development of the land-grant system of colleges and universities--chronologies of institutions by States, and a summary of the growth of land-grant institutions; (3) Procedures for administering federal funds for instruction; and (4) Federal laws and rulings, from the First Morrill Act in 1862 to the Bankhead-Jones Act as amended in 1960.

State Formulas for the Support of Public 2-Year Colleges. Bulletin, 1962, No. 14. OE-57004
Author: Morrison, D. G.
Date: 1962-00-00

This bulletin reports on a study examining the various formulas and patterns of support for 2-year colleges and reviewing the proportion of this support which is received from the State, from the district, and from student sources. The study reviews the practices followed in the support of 2-year colleges in each State. It reveals the fact that many States have two types of 2-year colleges receiving public support. It also analyzes the laws and regulations of each State to discover any specific statements dealing with sources and amounts of support for these institutions; and identifies some unanswered questions, such as whether public 2-year colleges should be tuition-free, and what should be considered a 2-year college. State exhibits are given to show the laws, regulations, and practices followed in support of each type of publicly supported 2-year college. It is anticipated that this study will be helpful to those States and districts which are presently considering the establishment of 2-year colleges, as well as to those planning a reexamination of the support pattern for existing institutions.
