1961 the Education De velopment Center (formerly Educational Services Incorporated) has been adminis tering an African Education Program (AEP). The principal obvious products of this pro gram have been curriculum materials in mathematics and science for schools in subSaharan English-speaking Africa. However, while a major component of the projects is the production of relevant ma terials for Africans by Africans with U.S. assistance, the entire effort is underscored by our aim to support and contribute to the cli mate for change in African education. We have sought to aid the strengthening of the individual and institutional capability for continuing curriculum development in Africa while at the same time we are assisting in the creation of new educational materials. Individuals from the following 17 coun tries have participated in some aspect of the overall program: Botswana, Canada, Ethi opia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho. Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States, West Indies, and Zambia. Those of us who have taken part in the program have gained at least as much as we have given. The gains are other than those of personal satisfaction. There is the profes sional growth realized from working with educators from many nations on a common project of curriculum development. The in sights gained and shared through this coop eration have been manifested in materials JAMES L. ALDRICH
