There have been many apprehensions that the cooperative venture would falter. The issues discussed in the San Diego Conference includes: (1) the certification of teachers; (2) the process of certification can serve more effectively the basic task of getting competent teachers into the classroom; and (3) incompetents can be forestalled.
