    James F. Evans Collection, 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. 505-519., Developing countries should device an educational alternative which should accelerate rural development. Developing countries due to financial constraints and low gross national product level can not finance universal schooling. Non-formal vocational education centres which can combine education with production and training could be one of the solutions. These centers can exhibit and propagate technology best suited for the particular community needs. Selection of right communication techniques involving dialogue rather than monologue or command would thus be necessary for the transfer of appropriate technology, which again should be suited to the level of understanding and adoption of the recipient groups. The paper discusses a new type of non-formal vocational school for integrated rural development. Such nonformal schools should combine elementary education with training and production to create self-generating rural economy for rural development. (original).
