emphasise in teaching our students now to rind information rather than
push basic facts into their heads. I would welcome contributions, so
that we can find out what is available, under what conditions, at what
price, which databases we can have access to, what kind of entries
there are and so on.
BAYOUH:
I would like once more to stress certain important points.
Which I think are very critical especially for the developing
countries like mine. First is that things are changing rapidly, so there
is a need for constant updating and this need becomes more strong in
developing countries were the situation is extremly bad, In Ethiopia we
have 820 surveyors in a population of 49 million people. Yet, this nate
is considered to be adeguate by African standards. Nevertheless it is
obvious that a training in the global subject is essential and absolutely
necessary, since only 92 surveyors are more specifically all trained
and only 60 of them have a master's degree and very few of them are
trained at a higher level. We are trying our best either for in house
training or overseas despite the known finincial problems.

STEWART:
4 years ago was published in the British International

including such courses in RS in Africa, Asia, South America, any place
that they are offered.
