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).

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. 521-534., In the Philippines, the educational systems is being called upon to match its outputs to the manpower requirements of its economy. The secondary schools have responded by adopting on a national scale the new Practical Arts Program and expanding the vocational secondary education system. Education at the post high school level is quite another matter. To find rational justification for implementing the reforms considered, this paper presents some possibilities of vocationalizing secondary schools as a strategy for rural development. Its main thesis is that vocationalization consists in much more complex interrelationships of the internal elements of the educational systems and the social structure than was first thought, and that vocationalization of secondary schools cannot meet the requirements of a modernizing society.
