Questionnaires were sent to principals of the Vancouver secondary schools to determine what opportunities were provided for students to study independently. Summaries of results for each question are given. It was concluded that although well-organized and evaluated study programs are rare and principals are ambivalent about their merit, there is an indication that attempts are being made to provide for individual needs and interests and to generate in students a sense of responsibility for their own learning. See TM 000 970 for a copy of the questionnaire. (MS)
