Guinea

In connection with a comprehensive reform in education, which provides above all for the esablishment of public schools with universal compulsory education until age 15, the government is planning to raise the number of students at higher institutions from, 345 (1960) to about 3,000 in 1970. In order to attain this goal, culture agreements were made which allow a growing number of Guinea's students to study at foreign institutions of higher learning. Also, the founding of a University of Guinea is provided for 1962-63. (L'Etudiant de France, Paris).
