Education for Development or Underdevelopment?
Author: M.K. Bacchus

Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
Release Date: 2010-12-01
How critical is education in the development struggle of a third world country? Responding to popular demands for more accessible education, the Guyanese government instituted numerous educational reforms, hoping to promote economic growth in both the modern and the traditional sectors of the economy. Many in the traditional sector, however, saw education as a means of economic advancement, and sought increasingly to move into higher social strata through employment in the modern sector. Consequently, the civil service and private firms gained an oversupply of personnel, while agriculture and small business suffered, and unemployment increased. The author examines Guyana’s educational system from historical, political, social, and economic perspectives, and draws implications for other developing countries.

School and Community in Less Developed Areas
There has long been a debate about the role of schools and relevant education in community development in less developed areas. Efforts are continually being made to relate the work of schools more closely to the life of the local community. First published in 1985, School and Community in Less Developed Areas discusses this important subject. This volume considers relevant theory and reviews specific examples to highlight the difficulties of translating intentions into practice. It examines the problem as it relates to education at different levels and looks at the problem in relation to less developed areas, both Third World countries and the more backward parts of developed countries, from right around the world. The book will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of education.
