Synopsis (short abstract) This technical paper is a first attempt to alert governments in the Indian Ocean Programme Region to the possibilities of introducing fisheries education into schools serving fishing communities. It contains detailed proposals for introducing fisheries related topics into the schools curricula to suit various grades and levels without requiring basic changes in the officially approved curricula. It also features a detailed proposal for an optional vocational fishing course to be offered at the h igh school level. The paper offers suggestions for using schools to provide continuing fisheries education for adults; refers to the organization and supervision of these programmes; touches upon the financial aspects and offers hints on obtaining outside expert assistance to get the programmes started, whenever such assistance is required. The appendixes contain further information, giving lists of equipment, reference material and teaching aids, as well as detailed contents of courses for the training of teachers for this programme.
