Subject:  Zhu Yin vs. Pin Yin

I am looking for information on the use of Zhu Yin Fu Hao versus Pin Yin
phonetic writing systems in bilingual Mandarin/English programs for
school children. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate
hearing from you. Has there been any research on the efficacy of the
systems?
