The "Updating" of Teachers

The Committee on General and Technical Education of the Council of Europe has organized a number of conferences on teacher in-service training in the past few years. One of these was the meeting held at Frascati in December 1969, which is the topic of the following article. The author, Clotilde Pontecorvo, gives a critical account of the conference and intersperses references to national developments based on the questionnaire data gathered in preparation for the conference. Understandably, the Italian situation is given particular (and critical) attention.
