The Provincial Department of Education has initiated an imaginative and persuasive system of educational programming, designed to increase the involvement and productivity of both teacher and student. Several Department- sponsored briefs such as the Hall-Dennis Report have caused us to question the value and achievement of the traditional approach to education. Rightly or wrongly, some ideas were implemented by the Department and its officials in spite of teacher requests to approack some questionable changes cautiously. ~~ Further to this, recent regulations entitled Recommendations and Information for Second- ary School Organization leading to Certificate and Diplomas, Circular H.S.1, enforced individ- valized and specialized programmes for a credit system in all our high schools. The teachers are responsible for the practical implementation of programming. They devoted their efforts to implementing these specialized programmes and assisted the students in changing their option requests accordingly. All of this was done on the assumption that funds for such programmes would be readily available. The necessary funds are not available. Where do we, the teachers, go from here?
