Suggests that rural policymakers are viewing education levels as a critical determinant of job and income growth in communities.

Evans, Axinn, In: Gajendra Singh, J.H. de Goede, eds. Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 487-503., This paper examines the proposition that most formal education does not stimulate rural development; it tends to oppress rural development. Based on studies in Nepal, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and other Asian Countries, it examines ways in which education can stimulate rural development, and identifies some of the critical variables. Rural development is defined as a process, and suggestions are made of how it might be furthered. Then education is described as a potential instrument for rural development. Then contrasts are drawn between centrally controlled education and locally controlled education; between literary/academic education and practical/applied education; between "banking type" and "problem posing" education; and between education for status differentiation and education for functional specialization.
