Primary School Teaching
Sir,—Mr B. Y. Dorofeev, the Soviet Ambassador, has made a good point. It is especially timely for his comments to be printed the day after the announcement of the appointment of the latest director of educational research, because our type of research into mainly theoretical matters has led the primary schools, which drag the unfortunate secondary establishments in their wake, to the brink of a pit of lowered standards and educational anarchy. Perhaps Mr Dorofeev could do us the further favour of importing sets of examination papers, even in mathematics, that Russian children of various ages would be expected to pass. We just do not seem to get a look at other countries’ examination papers.—Yours, etc.,
WONDER WHY. November 8, 1968.
