From every quarter, and most especially from the developing institutes of education, comes a plea for more research. The report of the Inter-territorial Education Seminar on Teacher Training Programmes (Samoa, 1963) (123) advocates research into the teaching of English as a a second language, selection procedures and similar matters. The report of the Programme Planning Seminar on Education in the University of the South Pacific (115) notes the need for research in curriculum development, selection techniques and child development in a local context.
