There are two programs in the school I teach in (http://www.dls-csb.edu.ph); one is a multi-media arts program (MMA) a sort of generic track and a photography specific (AB Photo) program. The MMA has long gone digital but has a black and white photo elective (which I teach). The AB Photo has a Alternative Processing subject which taught salt paper prints, albumen then we recently incorporated black & white into it since that is now "alternative" given that digital is mainstream. There is also large format photography.
Right now we are suffering from a shortage of black and white film, our only supplier is Fuji and someone from another school bought the existing 35mm stock (I managed to buy a bulk of the 120). Wet printing is done for demo purposes since the quality of paper we have here is iffy. For final plates and exhibits we go hybrid and scan the negatives. "Student" film cameras is a sliding issue since most have DSLRs to begin with and may dabble only in film cam for a particular subject (we have Nikon loaners--all in bad shape). Eventually some actually discover film and invest in their own; but in the meantime I have a group of students bringing their Dianas...
