b) Preparation of teaching materials on fibmees Studies
As a follow-up to the New Delhi Meeting of Experts on Women's Studies and 3ocial Sciences, a project for the preparation of teaching materials was launched in 1984. As a first step an "Issue paper" was prepared and sent to several interested institutions and scholars to seek their opinions and ideas regarding the work to b_ carried out.
Taking into consideration all the res?onses, guidelines for the preparation of teaching materials were prepared.
In 1984, the project was commissioned to two countries, namely India and Thailand, and in 1985 three more, namely Japan, the Philippines and Turkey were involved in the project.
All the contractors have completed their assignments. They are now being encouraged to find publishers in their own countries so that the materials produced by them can be used in teaching at the college level.
