Abstract	The impact of instructional television and educational reform in El Salvador was apparent in the 1969 school year. Large gains in learning were recorded for each of the three televised seventh-grade courses--science, mathematics and social studies. Baseline tests administered in four grades of school revealed that urban students developed conceptual abilities more quickly than rural students. Tests of general and reading ability were given to large samples of school children and here again urban students led rural students, and boys led girls. Overall attitudes were highly favorable toward the new educational innovations. Teachers and students who used instructional television were quite favorable at the beginning of the experience and even more favorable at the end. Three quarters of the research sample of seventh-grade students showed they were aspiring to higher status careers and higher salaries than their parents. And one final conclusion that emerged strongly was the importance of thorough planning and preparation before a new system goes into the classroom. (MG)
