Abstract	The overall objective of the educational television project in Latin America was to provide a basis for assessing the feasibility and utility of satellite-transmitted educational broadcasting systems. The specific objectives of the project were to 1) identify needs where broadcast media offer special promise; 2) estimate the amount of capital and recurring costs of satellite-based educational systems; 3) compare methods of distributing educational broadcasts; 4) review organizational and political implications of proposed alternative distribution systems; and 5) develop and apply a rough technoeconomic model. Fifteen countries were included in the various analyses made during the study, but all of the Central American countries were considered as one group. While mainly dealing with feasibility questions for educational broadcast systems in terms of technology and cost effectiveness, the report attempted to reflect what Latin Americans say they are trying to accomplish in education and training. It was concluded that instructional television was not likely to offer lower costs than conventional instruction. An entire system that included instructional television as a component would probably be more expensive than traditional processes, but it would also be more effective. (Author/HAB)
