Educational Planning
Author: Jacques HallakPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136517839
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
It was in a context of unprecedented economic growth that educational planning developed in the 1960s. At the time, educational planners were entrusted with orchestrating the tremendous expansion of schooling, with the aim of both universalizing education and providing national economies with the qualified manpower needed. Such rigid mandatory planning is not suited to today's world, but other forms of planning such as policy analysis, policy dialog, labor market analysis, and strategic management are still valid. The following is a complete list of reprinted essays collected for this book.
The Child and the State in India
Author: Myron WeinerPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691225184
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
India has the largest number of non-schoolgoing working children in the world. Why has the government not removed them from the labor force and required that they attend school, as have the governments of all developed and many developing countries? To answer this question, this major comparative study first looks at why and when other states have intervened to protect children against parents and employers. By examining Europe of the nineteenth century, the United States, Japan, and a number of developing countries, Myron Weiner rejects the argument that children were removed from the labor force only when the incomes of the poor rose and employers needed a more skilled labor force. Turning to India, the author shows that its policies arise from fundamental beliefs, embedded in the culture, rather than from economic conditions. Identifying the specific values that elsewhere led educators, social activists, religious leaders, trade unionists, military officers, and government bureaucrats to make education compulsory and to end child labor, he explains why similar groups in India do not play the same role.
The Challenge of Illiteracy
Author: Zaghloul MorsyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135583943
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
According to UNESCO's statistics, the number of illiterates in the world is verging on one million. A conservative estimate of the number of children who have no access to schooling brings that figure to more than one hundred million. School failure, brought about by overcrowding, poor facilities, unqualified teachers, and lack of materials only adds to the problem. The authors in this volume cover the many facets of the fight for literacy.
Education in Asia

Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Data analyzed in this study are drawn from varied sources including documents provided by governments in the context of the World Bank's operational activity. The data on a basic set of indicators were assembled for a core of 11 Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand). Data for other Asian countries are also presented when available. After an overview, chapter 2 highlights the main features of education in Asia in an international and regional perspective. Chapter 3 provides more detailed documentation of education costs and financing arrangements in Asian countries, focusing on such items as the pattern and level of unit costs across levels of education, the distribution of public spending, and the contribution of private financing. Efficiency and equity are addressed in chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 6 offers conclusions based on the cross-sectional analysis and makes suggestions for future work. The study concludes that the two most essential components of an effective education policy are greater attention to primary education and reduced public financing of higher education. Interspersed within the text are 49 tables and 36 figures. The appendices contain an additional 32 tables and the following: (1) a succinct description and comparative evaluation of the current status of education in individual Asian countries; (2) details on data sources and the corresponding core educational statistics; and (3) figures and miscellaneous data referred to in the text. (Contains 137 references.) (MLF)

Age-efficiency of education systems
Author: George PsacharopoulosPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Comparative education
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
The paper presents a summary indicator of one aspect of the internal efficiency of educational systems. The "age-efficiency" indicator measures the extent to which the actual age of enrolled students in a given system and level deviates from the official norm. The more the indicator deviates from unity, the less efficient the system. The paper discusses the economic and pedagogical effects of late entrance and grade repetition, and links the indicator to primary school completion and survival rates. Data from about 100 countries show that population growth contributes negatively to efficiency at primary and secondary levels. The effects of per capita income and expenditures on education are positive, but weak. The paper argues that the policy of automatic promotion is not a viable solution for enhancing efficiency and that some repetition and even dropping out may be desirable.
