SCHOOLS
AND
INSTITUTES
OF
PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
FRANCE
The
1982-1984
class
of the
Ecole
Nationale
d’Administration
(ENA)
was
welcomed
on
January
4
of
this
year.
It
comprises
137
students
of
whom
28
are
women.
The
students
have
already
had
two
series
of
activities :
conferences
and
training
courses,
as
well
as
further
training
activities.
Con-
ferences
were
organized
with
senior
staff
mem-
bers
of
the &dquo;
prefecture &dquo;
and
with
mayors
while
training
courses
were
held
in
central
administrations
or
in
government
administra-
tions
or
services
in
direct
contact
with
the
public.
The
further
training
courses
on
the
other
hand
dealt
with
language
retraining,
legal
and
economic
follow-up
training
and
the
devel-
opment
of
speed
reading
and
comprehension
abilities.
Furthermore,
the
report
dealing
with
ENA
reform
was
submitted
to
the
minister
respon-
sible
to
the
Prime
Minister
for
the
Civil
Ser-
vice
and
Administrative
Reforms.
This
will
be
analyzed
at
a
later
date,
but
we
can
already
point
out
that
a
certain
number
of
guidelines
regarding
both
the
opening
of
entrance
exam-
inations
and
preparation
of
female
candidates
in
the
provinces,
as
well
as
the
organization
of
careers
of
former
students
and
in
particular,
the
civil
service
and
its
openings,
have been
proposed.
PORTUGAL
The
Centro
de
Formagao
da
Administragao
Publica
(CFAP)
is
responsible
for
organizing
the
seventh
International
Congress
for
officers
in
charge
of
training
senior
officials,
to
be
held
in
Lisbon
as
of
October
25,
1982.
Civil
servant
training
specialists
from
various
countries
and
notably
from
the
Federal
Re-
public
of
Germany,
Belgium,
Finland,
France,
Italy
and
the
United

will
be
parti-

SPAIN
The
Centro
de
Estudios
Constitucionales,
in
collaboration
with
the
European
Consortium
for
Political
Research,
organized
a
symposium
in
May
on
the
future of
political
science
in
Europe.
Further
information
concerning
this
will
appear
in
the
next
issue
of
the
journal.
SRI LANKA
The
Sri
Lanka
Institute
of
Development
Administration,
together
with
the
Konrad
Adenauer
Stiftung,
Federal
Republic
of
Ger-
many,
sponsored
an
international
workshop
on
the
introduction
of
civil
servant
training
pro-
grammes
in
Asia.
Participants
from
Bangla-
desh,
Nepal,
Pakistan,
the
Philippines,
Thai-
land
and
Malaysia
attended.
The
workshop
was
officially
opened
by
the
Minister
of
Public
Administration,
who
more
particularly
declared:
&dquo; We
have
recognised
the
imperative
need
for
providing
training
to
our
administrators
both
in
theory
and
in
prac-
tice.
Our
countries
have
a
common
feature
in
that
we
are
developing
nations
with
demo-
critically
elected
governments,
and
therefore
a
very
onerous
responsibility
has
been
cast
on
our
respective
governments
to
meet
the
challenges
of
our
times
with
the
best
use
of
available
resources &dquo;.
Among
the
items
on
the
agenda
were
the
political
objectives
and
priorities
of
a
national
training
programme;
the
design
of
a
program-
me ;
the
content
of
materials
to
be
taught
and
training
methods;
the
training
period;
evalua-
tion
procedures
and
reorganization
of
program-
mes.
