Title: Source Books for Teaching
of Chemistry
Coordinator(s): K.V. Sane, R.B.
Bucat and J.J.
Lagowski
Objective:
Chemistry educators frequently lack the funds to acquire the books
they need to support their teaching. In this situation the quality
of their curricula is mediocre and gradually deteriorates with time.
There is a need for a low-cost source of books and reviews of proven
value therefore, especially in developing countries. By locating
and distributing such publications, CTC can make a substantial contribution
to the quality of chemistry teaching internationaly.
Progress:
As an extension of the UNESCO/CTC Project on Local ly Produced Low
Cost Equipment, a trial attempt has been going on since 1991 for
publishing a series of Low-Cost Resource Books in Chemistry for
the benefit of teachers and students. It has been found that significant
reduction in cost is possible by coupling the use of Desk Top Publishing
(DTP) approach with a social objective like training needy individuals
- particularly destitute women - for self-employment.
The list of publications produced to date under this programme is
