Book excerpt: "It is the purpose of the study to judge A) the validity and suitability of core curriculum program to the Libyan preparatory school students' needs and B) the ability of the Libyan preparatory school to apply the core curriculum. The purpose of this study has been built on two hypotheses. These hypotheses are 1) the educational systems of the U.S.A. and Libya share a similarity in their philosophical principles and objectives and 2) the American junior high school and the Libyan preparatory school share a similarity in their organization, objectives, and the average age of their students. These two hypotheses are considered sufficient to recommend that the preparatory school can benefit from the experiences of the junior high school. Accordingly, the core curriculum program fits the preparatory school and is applicable. In order to achieve the goal of this study it was considered necessary to examine the validity of these two hypotheses through the following procedure: A) the philosophy and objectives of the educational system in both countries were traced and compared, B) the development, status, and objectives of both the junior high school and the preparatory school were analyzed, and C) the literature on core curriculum program especially in the last two decades was reviewed. More attention was given to the core background, development, and practice. The study has indicated that the advantages of core curriculum program are critically needed for the Libyan youngsters. The core fits some shortcomings of the preparatory school to provide a better education for the pre and early adolescents. The other outcome was that the preparatory school can adopt the idea of core and apply it though it will encounter some difficulties."--Leaves iii-iv.
