The Xth International Conference on Public Education, organised jointly by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Bureau of Education, was held in Geneva from 14th to 19th July 1947. It was attended by the representatives of 42 governments. The agenda included four items: 1) reports from the Ministries of Education on Educational Developments during the School Year 1946-1947, 2) Free Provision of School Supplies, 3) Physical Education in Secondary Schools, 4) A World Charter for Teachers. By faithfully reporting on the meetings, the present volume enables one to follow the day to day discussions of the Conference. It also contains a list of the delegates, the text of the reports on the last three items of the agenda, and the recommendations adopted for circulation to the Ministries of Education on the free provision of school supplies and on physical education in secondary schools. Item 4, a teachers' charter, gave rise to an exchange of preliminary views which permitted essential problems to be broached pending the consultation of the professional organizations. The national reports presented by the delegates of the different countries on educational developments will be published later in the "Annuaire international de l'éducation et de l'enseignement".
