With the publication of "Education in Honduras," the Office of Education is continuing the series of basic studies on education in the American republics which was initiated in 1943. The Office of Education is indebted to Professor M. Weldon Thompson of Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Virginia, for the original study which led to the preparation of the present bulletin. Dr. Marjorie C. Johnston of the Office of Education staff in comparative education edited the manuscript and added the programs of study which appear in the 13 tables at the end of this bulletin. Appreciation is also due the Education Division of the Pan American Union and the Embassy of Honduras for careful readings of the manuscript and valuable suggestions. The map of Honduras is included through the courtesy of the Pan American Union, and the photographs of schools were provided by the Secretariat of Public Education in Honduras and the Foreign Operations Administration. Part I of this bulletin presents background information on the country of Honduras, its historical and political development, geographical factors, economic factors, and sociological factors in Honduran development. Part II is concerned with the topic of education as it pertains to the overall school system, elementary education, secondary education, higher education, vocational education, and other educational provisions. The final section of this report contains 13 tables detailing various programs of study. A bibliography is also included. (Contains 13 tables and 7 footnotes.)
