That there is a great need for better informed Americans concerning educational practices in other coun- i: tries, most will concede* ; Our rapidly changing world culture and its implication for curriculum change; the need for world leader- ! ship and the continuous additions to our knowledge in general, and in particular about Africa, a newly independent nation, all mean that professional school people need to work continuously to keep abreast of what they must know and must be able to do* The broader the scope of. American education has become through far-flung military bases throughout the world, the greater the interest Americans have taken in host nation relations--in the administration and organization of schools in newly formed nations* Since the forming of a new and independent nation in 1956 in Morocco, programs have been planned to aid i educationally and financially in the organization and ! administration of a public and non-public school system in Morocco* How adequately and effectively have these met the needs of a newly formed republic? The Problem This presentation was an attempt on the part of j the writer to make a study of organization and administration practices in schools in certain towns and cities in Morocco, Africa, with a view toward determining the following questions: 1* What is the social and religious structure and its implication for a philosophical foundation for education in Morocco? 2* What is the basic organization and administration of the Moroccan public schools since 1956 independence, and what are their related problems as reported by professional literature and other sources? 3. What non-public educational opportunities j are offered, and how are these related to i the public schools administration? i 4* What are some observable differences and similarities to the American educational system?
