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 
Journal of Remote Sensing a review at ITC quite comprehensive 
including such courses in RS in Africa, Asia, South America, any place 
that they are offered.
