An analysis of the effectiveness of FIGO's Teaching Manual on Human Reproduction is reported on the basis of answers to a questionnaire received from 100 heads of teaching departments, chiefly of obstetrics and gynecology. These represented 32 countries widely distributed throughout the developing countries of the world. The most significant finding was the evidence of the very large number of medical and other students that could be reached through the principle of placing superlatively good teaching material in the hands of key educators in their native country. Additional answers to the questionnaire provided information on the way courses were organized about the material and suggestions as the useful changes, possible expansion of subject matter, and the felt need for an updated edition.
