Illiteracy is being reduced by spectacular scholarization efforts made since independence which emphasize results in the immediate future, thus meeting the requirements of modern society. Multilingual- ism necessitates freruent and disrupting reorganizations of curricula as the relationships between Arabic and French in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria and English, Italian and Arabic in Libya are constantly changing. In addition, education in general is in a period of trr;nsition in the Maghreb countries, and the systems which are evolving are still The principal difficulty we encountQred in compiling this bibliography was that, apart from governmental publica- tions, material is not easily obtained. Much recent material has not yet been clrssified, and many texts are published outside the country. This is particularly true for Libya. We do hope, however, that these issues will be useful not only to educators and students, but also to those who have a general interest in North Africa. " '" r PHILOSOPHY AND THEORY CF EDUCIATiON A 1, SAYAD A. "Bilinguisme et Education enAlgerie'47 (Bilinguism and Education inAlgeria). Communication to 1.,1:'9 Colloquium held in Dubrovnik in1965 about ,'Sociai Systems in Rural Milieus and Educationsystems in the Mediterranean Countries", published together withthe communications to the Madrid Colloquium(1964) by the CAHIERS DU CENTREDE SOCIOLOGIE EUROPEENNE under thegeneFFrErEfrmrIUC=66., -13-6761WE=Tenio7racy" (1967). Abdelmalek Sayad, from the EuropeanCenter of Sociology, explains the role of bilingualismand its probleas, in . formerly colonized countries which nowhave to build new national cultures. Both an instrumentand an object of education, language is a priori the centerof any education problem. In Algeria, afterIndependence, new life conditions have given separate functions toFrench, to Arabic and to the different Berber dialects.As the latter languagesalways become more charged with religious andsacred meanings, and ere in part useless languages(exceptfor women and in familylift) French appears as a secular, realisticand "positive" language granting efficiency in the modernworld. It is seen es a criterion of adartation to modernlife, and reveals a whole hierarchy of representations, aspirationsand ideological references differentiating social groups.Bilingualism therefore leads to conflicts becauseit is obviously the manifestation of a general culturalsituation. A. Sayad concludes with a typology of the usesof bilingualism in Algeria. At the educational level,bilingualism appears a$ an effort to create a newlanguage which would be anadaptative answer to theobjective situation of Algeria. Ni 2.

BulletinEconomi ue et Social du Maroc, January-March 1966. TErgUthor suggests that a larger proportion of theMoroccan financial resources should be reserved forintellectual investment and generally that educationshould be conceived and oriented according to the necessitiesof economical developms Intellectual investment should beconsidered parallel to the increase of materialinvestments, which means economical growth through the developmentof the capacities of material production. Mag 3. MAZOUNI A. "Culture et Enseignement en Algerie et au Maghreb'? (Culture and Education in Algeriaand in the Maghreb) nrinted by Masnero, Paris: 250 .pp. 10-7,A,.q1 The author tries to give adefinition of Algerian"national specificity". He thus meetsthe problem oflanguages in the Maghreb : would it be better toteach classical Arabic, or to synthesize theAlgerian dialect and theliterary language ? The other questionbroached is that ofbilingualism which may compromise the future ofthe Algerian personality.Mr Mazouni feels that, finally, thedouble opening of Algeriatowards the occident and towards theorient represents achance to realize a new destinyfor the Arabo-Islamicworld.

Nr. Veyssier underlines thenecessity of organizingknowledge, the educative effect oflinking theoretical andAractical work and the necessity of personalexperience in sciencestudies. In the second part of hisarticle he stresses theidea set forth by Dewey and Kerschensteinerof an "active school". ADMINISTRATION OF THE EDUCATIONALSYSTEM A 5.
