metry. The other main training effort is at the Technician or 
Auxilliary staff level. Here training is mainly directed towa 
rds the production of operators. 
At the Technologist level, only two states namely Nigeria 
and Kenya have institutions that conduct photogrammetrie cour 
ses - the E.C.A. training centre and the polytechnic. These 
are by no means adequate. / 
Table II reveals that most of the photogrammetrio courses 
conducted in the Universities are in the faculty of Engineering 
but in the Department or School of Surveying. Most of the tech 
nician training is in the various Survey Departments. Very few 
education is conducted in Photo Interpretation and Remote Sen 
sing as of now in Africa. Knowledge in Remote Sensing and Pho 
tointerpretation is gained outside Africa in places like I.T.C. 
and other similar institutions. There is no control and co-or- 
• ' V' ' ■ 
dination in this regard as yet. The needs is therefore seen 
for a well coordinated programme of training in remote sensing 
and photo-interpretation. 
4« Conclusion 
Thi3 interim report shows the very inadequate situation 
of photogrammetric education in Africa. Urgent action to impro 
ve upon this is indicated. The study is still in progress and 
a fuller report will be presented at the next Congress in 
Hamgurg by 1980.
