And Vanderpol considers
the civil servants he taught —
many of whom arrived in
Djakarta from distant places
in the country with only an
equivalent of $2 Cnd — as
poor people.

“I have been able to place
poor people for scholarships
(offered) by the Australian,
New Zealand, British and U.S.
governments.”

Vanderpol said his entire
“government class” was sent
for training to western En-
glish-speaking countries
“where everything is paid for.”

They “struggled like hell,”
Vanderpol observed. But they
have-all passed the TOEFL
test.

Teaching English to In-
donesians was also a struggle
for Vanderpol because the
country is itself still struggling
to overcome the problems of il-
literacy from its colonial past.

“There's a problem because
books are very expensive,” he
said.

Frances Vanderpol said
that in the home of an Indone-
sian couple who were friends
with the Vanderpols, where
the husband is a university
professor and his wife a den-
tist, she found only some dic-
tionaries and encyclopedias.

“But I didn't see one novel.”

Martin Vanderpol got
around the problem by buying
a bag of books as a “class li-
brary.”

He said the veri is in

Second phase of teacher
education program underway

The second phase of the
West Kootenay Teacher Edu-
cation program was initiated
this s September allowing local

rogram.

When the West Kootenay
Teacher Education program
first started last year, only
those who already had a de-
gree were admitted into a 12-
month program that resulted
in their attaining B.C. teach-
ing certification.

Both elementary and sec-
ondary certification are avail-
able.

“While we are continuing
with the 12-month certifica-
tion options,” said Joe Ranall

we were able to turn things to
our advantage,” explained
Gerry Ehman, coordinator of
the college’s Open Learning
Centre.

“When we sat down to re-
think the status of the pro-
gram and our future plans, we
were able to work out a very
creative and unique solution
that makes our current pro-
gram the most flexible and ex-
tensive of any of the rural
teacher education program of-
fered in the province.

“Now, not only are people
able to acquire a 12-month el-
ementary or secondary certifi-
cation, they can also obtain a
two-year | bachelor’ ’s degree.”
