Abstract: The Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization held its sixteenth session in Paris from June 9 to 15, 1949. At the first meeting Jaime Torres Bodet, Director-General, drew attention to the main points in his report on the activities of the organization since the fourteenth session. One of the questions which he considered essential and to which he drew the Board's attention was coordination between the United Nations and the specialized agencies as regards technical assistance to underdeveloped countries. In conformity with the decisions of the fifteenth (extraordinary) session of the Executive Board, UNESCO was represented by two members on a working party which met at Lake Success in March and drew up a series of projects for consideration by the United Nations Administrative Committee on Coordination. A second question concerned general education; the two missions sent by UNESCO to the Philippines and Siam had concluded their work with very encouraging results. The foundation of two new national commissions, those of India and Switzerland, was reported.
