F. Rationale The regional training institutions included presently entering under this project are a crucial phase of their development. becoming recognized as valuable They are sources of training and the Southeast Asian governments expertise which progrms are increasingly drawing of these'institutions stem upon becaruage recognized from the needs of the rcgion and defined by che as regional Asians themselves. In alimost priorities coincide with all cases training AID priority areas. Although is included, the programs degree resolving are practical and addresced regional development constraints to They are and meeting regional also geared in part to a middle nots. segment, level, mid career man-pow.r crucial to carrying out priority human resources devcupruit plans of government leaders. However, for Southeast Asian countries to increasingly academic and training edpabilities utiline In-ragioa as their first choice, the traditional habit of sending instead of select students, trainees abroad for study and training, and officers is an evolution (not underway. It is the policy a revolution) now evolution. of RED to encourage and assist Regional training institutions i. the funding are dependent on exterad1 sources as are most U.S. academic that the U.S. institutions.

Course of Action An Iaplementation plan In the traditional sense this proJect since funds in not required for are to be transferred annually Institutions and organizations. to existing Regional training cussed annually with needs will be dis­ governments, regiunal user institutions themselves. organizations and the Subsequent to those cunsu.tations, will be made on the level decis.ons of funding for each institution, the number of regional and whether reduced. institutions utilized should The timing of allotment requests be expanded or based on and subsequent obligations the training schedules of individual i reporting requirements institutions. Special will be incorporated in each to assist with data gra-tt agreemeur collection for evaluation purposes. With regard to particular principles direction of the project shall apply, and shall the following be incorporated in the relevant agreements: grant 1. It will be emphasized training that the participants receiving at the various regional Institutions the from other should be Southeast Asians than the country where the institution to encourage a greater is located. This is interchange of Southeast Asians regional facilities. among the 2. To the extent desirable, to special consideration will funding scholarships for students be given inslitutions from regional (non-training) currently under support Coordinating from the USG such Comnittee (MCC) as the Mekong Regional and the Suutheast Asian Transportation and Connaunications Agency for Development (SEATAC). 3. To the extent possible, the institutions greater participation shall encourage a from the three Indochina countries Indonesia. These four countries and from other Southeast have lagged benind in proportion Asian countries largely because to in English language of basic shortcom~ings and prior technical and academic poteutial candidates. The institutions training of under the scholarship will be encouraged to use funds program to up--grade the trainee's in the English language, thrcugh proficiency various rewedial courses established regional institutions prior at to or concurrent with enrollment In the training courses. In implementing this project one critical flexibility assumption is that project will be maintained between institutions offerings'of any Institution. and among course The specifics set forth table are therefore necessarily in the attahed planning figures.

Comment on key factors determining rating Personnel in all SEAMEO institutions and AIT and ADI are qualified, highly trained individuals in their speciality. In addition, most insti­ tutions have expatriate siaff personnel and are in a position to draw on other host institutions for teaching and Seminar assistance. Other agencies of host governments cooperate in field assignments and in research by organizing field programs and by permitting the use of laboratories as needed. Facilities at most SEAMEO institutions are still to be completed. Progress is being made and host governments are cooperative and sympathetic.

to date has graduated 77. The Institution is located in the Campus of a teachers College and will be moving into its own Classroom and Laboratory Complex in January 1977. Except for a reading room of selected journals and books located in its student's recreational hall, RECSAM shares the College library. On a volunteer basis scholars may also use the College language laboratory on Saturdays. Otherwise scholars weak in English receive substantial tutorial assistance from faculty speaking the same national language. Scholars attending RECSAM have already designed and developed acceptable curriculum project materials for integrated science coursesat Junior secondary schools. They are written in simple English and cooperating Nations are free to translate them into National languages. An over all rating for this Institution is "outstanding" in its handling of the RSP project.

2. The Southeast Asian Regional Center.for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture(SEARCA) is located on the Campus of the SUniversity of the Philippines. It began receiving RSP grant in FY 75. it has graduated nine scholars, five of whom began their programs. under other sponsorships and were picked up under RSP funding is effective July, 1974. It has a fine -library. Otherwise, it .dependent upon University facilities and faculty to guide both M.Sc.. of RSP funds and Ph.D."scholars. SEARCA takes advntage of the use are for the teaching of English. Indonesian and Thai students enrolled in language classes at the UP/LB Faculty of Letters prior to to the beginning of the academic year for intensive work for upward to attend 200 hours. During the Academic year students may continue to language classes if they wish. Research projects are geared in their regional interests. A few students are doing field research are home countries for the Ph.D. Funds for their research and travel paid by the home Government. An overall rating for this institution is.."good"' in its handling of the RSP project.

3. Tropical Medicine (TROPMED) Institutions have a central coordinating Board located in Bangkok, Thailand.

a. TROPMED Bangkok- began receiving RSP Grant funds in April 1976 and graduated 10 Diploma Course scholars in September. It is.in its own building on the campus of Mahidol University in Bangkok. It is obtaining increased acquisitions for its own library and maintains its own laboratory facilities. The faculty is drawn from the Faculty of Tropical Medicine of the University and "the Thai Department of Health aissists in assignments for field trips. It has not, as yet,used any funds for English up-grading, relying rather on substantf(ve tutorial assistance as required. The curriculm of the Diploma Course is very practical and regional in its orientation. As the Center moves into degree programs, weakness in English may prove to be a problem. Overall rating is "good" for this

institution's handling of the RSP project.

b. TROPMED Manila located in its own building on the campus of the Faculty of.Medicine, University of the Philippines, Manila, began its first RSP degree courses in June 1976. The RSP scholars follow the straight M.P.H. course, not necessarily aimed at regional problems. The faculty feels if it can give a straight factual Master of Public Health Course and teach its scholars how to think about their particular problems in relation to the substantive knowledge gained that that is its own accomplishment. The diploma course in Medical Microbiology, to begin in October 1976, wil1 have a curriculum directed toward regional problems. If English proves to be a problem it will be difficult to solve since the Language Department of the University is located some 30 km. away in Dili=an. It will be necessary to help students through substantive tutorial assistance after classes. The library is noteworthy with many appropriate journals and reference materials. Overall rating is "good" in the potential for the institution's handling of the SP. project. At the time of the most recent visit in September 1976, the first RSP degree scholars had been there two months.

c. TROPMD/Kuala Lumpur, located at the Institute for Medica Research(Medical Department) Kuala Lumpur,: began its first' diploma course under RSP In April 1976 and graduated three in September. It is a research organization and teaches research techniques to technicians interested in providing medical diagnostic services. The SEAMEO TROPMED Center is about to move into new large quarters and will be able to accomodate up to 20 students. There will be modern, excellent laboratories, animal bins and larger library facilities to accommodate new acquisitions. The curriculum, based on a similiar course at the London School of Tropical 2!edicine, has been modified to meet the needs of the .region. Each scholar comes with a particular research problem assigned before he leaves home. Scholars must be Medical Veterinary or Science Graduates. The overall rating is "outstanding" for this institution's handling of.the RSP project. RSP grant funds, however, will not be given this institution for its 1977 course offering. RSP funds will be used instead for the degree courses at Manila and the Philippines. The 1977 SEANEO course in Kuala Lumpur will be funded by the Malaysian Government and CIDA funds.

d. TROPMED/Jakarta, located at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia begat its first RSP granted program in September 1975 and graduated seven scholars from its Diploma Course June 1976. In September 1976 it began its second diploma course for eleven RSP scholars and a masters program in Nutrition which has one RSP scholar enrolled. The Department of Health is about to transfer to TROPkED its Nutrition Research and Development Centre which will

provide the.institution with animals and additional laboratory facilities for animal research as well as additional iaculty. Although the GOI has provided TROP 4ED with an excellent building, it has not provided it with City electricity. After five years of operation, it does not yet have fully functioning laboratories. This would seem essential as the program gradually transfers to a degree program where research is a requirement. English is a problem with the Thai students and TROPHED/Jakarta is now investi­ gating ways to solve it. Since all classes are held in the morning hours, the Thai's could attend English classes at several acceptable language training institutions in Jakarta in the afternoon. In spite of the enthusiasm of a faculty of exceptionally well qualified individuals, the overall rating is "fair" in the institution's ability to handle the RSP project.

•SEAES is adding to the RSP granted funds program:

- .- 1. The Regional English Language Center (RELC) is located­ in its own building in Singapore. It will receive its first scholars under this project in FY 77 and graduate its first diploma course students in FY 1978. RELC has been judged as having the third best Applied Linguistics Library in the world.

2. The Regional Centre for Tropical Biology(BIOTROP) 'ogor, Indonesia will receive its first RSP grant in FY 1978.

3. Regional Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology(INNOTECH) will receive its RSP grant in FY 1979. Overall, SAMES has performed well in its duty to communicate with its member countries and organizations the need to direct curriculum to relevant problems of the region. Its communication has been less effective in regard to such administrative matters as the timely receipts of nominations to: 1) ensure proper: screening by host institutions: 2) proper travel documents required by host countries. In addition the timely receipt of required reports is a problem and several member organizations appear uninformed regarding the availability of funds for English language study. In fact, the RSP project is not understood in detail. National Directors appear not to understand how it differs from earlier USG grants through RED.

AIM, located on its own compus in Manila, Philippines, began receiving RSP grant funds late in FY 75 and has graduated one scholar from its..one year Master in Management course. Eight are continuing for the two year Master in Business Administration Course. AIM has provided two Thais with

There is not, however, an identifiable "Manpower plan" for the selection of RSP scholars. Some of the candidates National come from centers themselves, others represent faculty of universities and teachers colleges.of the sending country. This may be because of the constraint that each candidate have some ability in English. At the "input" level the training program is behind schedule. This is, in part, due to the -political upheaval in the region and the loss of participation by Laos, Khmer and Vietnam. SEAMES has been reduced to five active countries. In the area of Tropical Medicine, only four countries are participating in the Regional Program(RSP), Scholarship Singapore has declined to participate in the RSP tropical medicine program as originally planned. The Tropical Medicine program in Saigon ended in April 1975. SEAMES, beginning in May 1976, transferred the Singapore program to Bangkok. The Saigon program was transferred to Manila in October 1976. Another reason for the slow -of this start-up project is that RSP funds could not begin until after all other direct AID regional funding had been expended. Those institutions currently receiving RSP grants, are taking up the slack in current programs and enlarging classes to the maximum, commensurate with a good teaching environment and availability of faculty. .. . .

Both AIT and ALM are having minor difficulty in locating qualified candidates outside the host countries where they are located. AIT had dropped 3 candidates on RSP scholarships because of academic failure.

External Donor Contributions: SEAHES has been successful in raising funds from Governments outside the region and inbroadening the list of private foundations contributing scholarship funds, library acquisitions and faculty secondments. Excluding the USG contribution between FY 1970 and FY 1971 of approximately $2,593,000 SEA1EO raised $3,447,000 of which $423,000 came from its associate member countries of Australia, New Zealand and France. During the life of the project planned external donor cintributions to SEAMEO are estimated at approximately $8 million. This will consist mainly of scholarship funds, but will also include some topped off secondments as well as continued library acquistions in the form of journal exchanges and new books at institutions.

It is estimated that AIM will receive approximately $300,000 per year from private donors for scholarship use. AIM is also increasing the number of self-supporting scholars admitte(O' AIT will obtain from external donors approximately $975,000 per year, primarily for capital and operating expenses. Among major donors from Governments will be ; Japan, Australia, the U.K. and Canada. International organizations, private businesses.-and foundations are also contributing.

Page 3: Footnote. 1/ Failure to meet planned out-put'targets to date is due to three reasons beyond the control of project planners and contract implementors:

1. Congressional prohibition regarding USG/RSP grants to scholars from: Khmer, Laos and Vietnam.

2. The project did not get underway according to the original schedule because first year funding in FY 1975 was not allotted and obligated until the third quarter of the fiscal year.

3. It was originally planned that two additional TROPWD institutions would be participating: Singapore (diploma course in Public Health/Urban, Industrial Health) and Saigon (diploma course in Applied Microbiology). Other Institutions have only recently been able to pick-up these losses; Bangkok for Singapore, beginning May 1976.; Manila for Saigon, beginning October 1976.

The remaining countries participating in the RSP have been able to pick-up the slack created by the loss of Indo-dilna to the program. It is expe-.ted'that the final target will be met.
