Report of the Committee on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories: The tenth session of the Committee on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories was held in New York from April 20 through May 19, 1959. At this session the committee gave special attention to educational conditions in the non-self-governing territories, using as a guide the special studies prepared by the Secretariat and certain specialized agencies which it had before it. The studies by the Secretariat included papers on the participation of the inhabitants in the development of education and on secondary and higher education, while those prepared by the specialized agencies included reports on fundamental education, the eradication of illiteracy, free and compulsory primary education, recent developments in technical and vocational training, agricultural education and extension services, and the education and training of medical and health personnel. Statements in the general debate on this item, discussed at the 188th to 196th meetings inclusive, were made by the representatives of Australia, Brazil, Ceylon, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Iraq, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
