Show Abstract
The place of optics in the physics curriculum of high schools is examined in the light of current educational trends and needs. Both the P.S.S.C. and conventional physics curricula place due emphasis on optics, but relatively few students take physics in school, and adequately trained teachers are fewer in physics than in other branches of physical science. An analysis of relevant statistics discloses a serious shortage of scientific manpower needed for the nation's economy, and an even more serious threat to cultural unity and progress.
