Drastic reforms in secondary education are underway in Colombia with the introduction of a greater variety of elective courses of instruction, many of them pre-vocational and vocational, with new emphasis on individual student attention. Nineteen new secondary schools are at various stages of completion in all parts of the country, laid out like small college campuses, and featuring the latest in classroom and laboratory equipment. Technical assistance in establishing the new schools was provided by the universities of New Mexico, Oklahoma and California, under contract to the U.S. Agency for International Development. The "Francisco de Paula Santander" school at Kennedy City, Colombia, is typical of new facilities. A metal shop teacher shows students how to make a precise measurement on a metal flange.
