that the present work of Commission VI be continued in order to collect and present up-to-date
At the Lisbon Congress one of the resolutions of Commission VI was: "It is strongly recommended
information on the development of photogrammetric education in various countries." At the request
of Prof. W.Sztompke, President of Commission VI of the I. S. P. the undersigned was appointed
as the reporter for the subject of Education of the Commission.
In 1964 Prof, R. S. Halonen presented his General Report 1960-1964 on Education, Terminology
and Bibliography. It seemed obvious to base the present survey on Education and Training in
Photogrammetry on the work of Prof. Halonen in order to get, as far as possible, comparable
data. Therefore the questionnaires prepared were based on the questionnaires of Prof.
Halonen, however with some minor modifications.
Furthermore the survey of Prof. Halonen was restricted to the photogrammetric education
at the highest level. In the present survey however, informations were asked also with regard
to photogrammetric education of lower standards, e.g. technicians, operators.
In order to avoid superfluous informations about very short courses in elementary photo-
grammetry or short series of lectures organised by schools, associations or others, it
was proposed to use the following directives:
a. Schools, universities, Teaching of photogrammetry in the regular courses. The number
of lecture hours has to be at least 30.
b. Separate courses or series of lectures, organized by schools, universities, institutes
factories, etc. To be mentioned only if the duration of the course is at least 4 weeks.
c. Courses for training employees in organizations or services. To be mentioned only if
their duration in total is at least 8 weeks (lecture hours and practical studies together
some 300 hours).
The questionnaires were sent to the Members of the I. S. P. to the National Reporters of
Commission VI. Filled in questionnaires were received from: Australia, Austria, Canada,
Finland, Germany Federal Republic, India, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland and
United States of America, Tunisia reported that no teaching and training in photogrammetry
exists in the country.
QUESTIONNAIRES.
The following 3 questionnaires A, B and C were despatched:
Questionnaire A, dealing with lectures,was split up in parts: part I: Basic subjects

1. The basic principles of photogrammetry:
mathematical, optical, photographical. Binocular vision etc.
2. Aerial photography/navigation:
