Feb. 25 Closed Circuit Educational Television in Niger Niamey, Niger, 1965. Operation Tele Niger, an experiment in television teaching, began in Niger in 1964 with two experimental classes 70 six and seven year old pupils. It was found after two years that the children had learned at least as much as they would have done in a traditional school. Presently, some 800 children in 20 villages in the region of Niamey, the Capital of Niger, are learning to read and write from these special television programmes. The programmes, which are broadcast every day, are split up into four sequences lasting 20 to 30 minutes. In between broadcasts the children practise and revise under a teacher in their classroom. The project will be expanded and by 1969 it is hoped that an extension of the television network will enable the programme to be received as far as 900 miles from Niamey.
