This seminar - the first of a series of such meetings on the teaching of science - was organized to complement Commonwealth Secretariat publishing efforts in the field of science equipment. It did not concern itself with the methods of teaching science. Instead, it emphasized the means of making the knowledge of science available to as many school pupils as possible through the local production of science teaching equipment, keeping the cost as low as possible. For this reason, the seminar included practical laboratory sessions at which participants familiarized themselves with basic items of equipment which are at present imported into the various countries. Participants produced some equipment themselves. Ways of identifying regional and Commonwealth co-operation was another objective of the meeting, and a number of recommendations were made.
