CASTME: Caribbean Regional Seminar

This seminar was organized to promote greater awareness of the social significance of science, technology, and mathematics education, with special reference to the Commonwealth Caribbean. Major attention was focused on three issues: 1) alternative energy sources, 2) mathematics as a tool for community transformation, and 3) new technology and distance learning. In addition, the meeting examined ways of improving regional and Commonwealth cooperation in the teaching of science, technology, and mathematics.
