Sudan and Fresno State College may be worlds apart in culture, customs and composition, but people E a common de- nominator - from both places are work- ing together for a common goal. Begun last year at the request of the Sudan government, a two year contract was negotiated for aid in education, espe- cially in training teachers. After the United States agreed to the program, Fresno State was chosen to supply a faculty. Dr, Kenneth Meeks, professor of edu- cation is coordinator of the program. The former Hanford superintendent of schools stressed that the entire program is an effort to improve the teacher-training program.

f iff and particularly to train their own people to teach. The reasons Fresno State was chosen to furnish the faculty are numerous. First, both Fresno and Sudan are in similar climatic regions. The Sudan has good cotton production as does this area. Finally Fresno State is recognized as a top teach- ers college. The lvl American instructors are not in the Sudan to transplant the methods used in the United States. rather they will follow the Sudanese curriculum. Fresno State was the first state college in California to be chosen hy the lfnitcd States Agency for lnternational Develop- ment fAlDl. ln all, there are 95 colleges now in the program. Casualness is evident. even :it the opening men-ling of seminars. Sudanese students are engrossed with thc educational display that Fresno State built.
