An international joint study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) was conducted on education and rural development to review the status of the topic from the standpoint of public policies and the conceptual frameworks on which they are based and also to shed light on what may be called "good practice." The findings of the study are meant to serve not as models, but rather as points of reference for all those who are seeking ways of developing education in rural areas and contributing more effectively to rural development. Chapter I, "Education and Rural Development: Setting the Framework" (David Atchoarena and Charlotte Sedel), provides a contextual and theoretical introduction to the new rural development and poverty reduction thinking, as well as a discussion on the contribution of education to rural development. In Chapter II, "Basic Education in Rural Areas: Status, Issues and Prospects" (Michael Lakin with Lavinia Gasperini), the book reviews in depth the provision of basic education in rural areas and offers some policy directions for improvement. Further exploring a particular dimension of basic education, Chapter III, "Making Learning Relevant: Principles and Evidence from Recent Experiences" (Peter Taylor, Daniel Desmond, James Grieshop and Aarti Subramaniam), devotes specific attention to strategies linking the formal school teaching with students' life environment, including agriculture, and to garden-based learning. The intention is to provide updated information and new insights on much-debated aspects which are often associated with rural areas although their application is much broader. Chapter IV, "Strategies and Institutions for Promoting Skills for Rural Development" (David Atchoarena, Ian Wallace, Kate Green, and Candido Alberto Gomes), shifts the analysis from education to work and discusses the implications of the transformation of rural labor markets for skill development. A particular concern is the rise in rural non-farm employment and the need to enlarge the policy focus from agricultural education and training to technical and vocational education for rural development. This debate is taken further in Chapter V, "Higher Education and Rural Development: A New Perspective" (Charles Maguire and David Atchoarena), which considers higher level skills and the contribution of the tertiary education sector to rural development. Special attention is given to the reform of higher agricultural institutions and lessons based on case studies are provided to document good practice in institutional reform. Finally, Chapter VI, "Main Findings and Implications for Policy and Donor Support" (David Atchoarena with Lavinia Gasperini, Michael Lakin and Charles Maguire), concentrates on the main findings of the study and discusses policy implications and possible responses for donors and countries. (Contains 28 tables, 14 figures, and 64 boxes.).

Rural poverty encompasses a distinctive deprivation in quality of life related to a lack of educational support and resources as well as unique issues related to geographical, cultural, community, and social isolation. While there have been many studies and accommodations made for the impoverished in urban environments, those impoverished in rural settings have been largely overlooked and passed over by current policy. The Handbook of Research on Leadership and Advocacy for Children and Families in Rural Poverty is an essential scholarly publication that creates awareness and promotes action for the advocacy of children and families in rural poverty and recommends interdisciplinary approaches to support the cognitive, social, and emotional needs of children and families in poverty. Featuring a wide range of topics such as mental health, foster care, and public policy, this book is ideal for academicians, counselors, social workers, mental health professionals, early childhood specialists, school psychologists, administrators, policymakers, researchers, and students.

The Primary Focus Of This Book Is To Identify The Various Dimensions Of The Role That Education Should Play, As An Instrument Of Socio-Economic Transformation And Reconstruction Of The Rural Communities, Commensurate With Their Predominant Share In India'S Population And Their Contribution - Socio-Economic, Political And Cultural - To The Development Of The Country. The Book Highlights The Vital Role That Education Plays In The Development Process. The Questions That The Author Discusses In This Context Are: What Should Be The Type Of Education, Which Will Meet The Engaging Challenges? How Can It Be Introduced And Operated In The Present Situation? What Has Been Our Experience In The Past? What Orientation Is Required For The Future? These And Host Of Similar Problems Are Sought To Be Discussed In The Study. The Study Has Been Divided Into Three Parts: 1. The Dynamics Of Rural Development; 2. The Educational Imperatives, Processes, Programmes And Structures; And 3. The Implementation Challenges. The First Part - Is Devoted To The Study Of Forces Operating In Rural Areas; The Extent To Which And The Manner In Which They Could Be Manipulated To Obtain The 'Preferred Future' - The Future, To Which The Entire Process Of Planning Should Be Directed. The Second Part - Educational Imperatives Forms The Main Theme Of The Study. The Main Thrust Of The Study Is To Identify The Manner In Which The Processes, Programmes And Structures Of The Educational System Should Be Modified To Meet The Diverse Needs Of Rural Development. This Part, Divided Into Three Main Chapters: School Education, Higher Education And Non-Formal Education, Analyses The Present Status Of Educational Development At Various Levels, The Deficiencies That Have Afflicted The System And How They Can Be Modified/Restructured To Make Them Important Contributory Factors To The Development Process Relating To Rural Areas. The Third Part - The Implementation Challenges Discusses The Role Of Education As An Instrument Of Socio-Economic Change; The Needed Modifications In The Existing Policies - Both Academic And Administrative - And The Challenges For Our Management Capabilities. The Management Challenges Have Been Analysed Down To The Village Level. It Is Hoped That The Study Will Be Of Interest To All Those Concerned With Education - Teachers, Administrators And Planners By Giving Them A Synoptic View Of Educational Development In The Post-Independence Period. It Will Also Be Able To Highlight The Significance Of Education As A Process Of Socio-Economic Development, And Cultural Regeneration, Particularly Of The Rural Areas, Which Have So Far Not Been Given The Priority That They Rightly Deserve. Any Further Delay In Achieving This Goal Will Be Counter-Productive.
