Rural Education in Urbanized Nations: Issues and Innovations

edited by Jonathan P. Sher

A reversal in rural-to-urban migration patterns is creating increasing interest in the quality of education in rural areas and in techniques for meeting educational needs in sparsely populated regions. Wholesale urbanization of rural schools generally is rejected as a potential solution: it is logistically inefficient; centralization and standardization are met with growing resistance; and conventional solutions to educational problems produce uneven results when applied to rural areas.

This book addresses the broad spectrum of rural education issues within OECD member countries. The authors identify innovative programs, policies, and strategies and point toward the more promising paths for rural school improvement. They also issue warnings about some of the blind alleys and dead ends that can be encountered. The major topics covered include delivery systems, in-school innovations, support mechanisms, and community-school linkages.

Jonathan P. Sher, author of Education in Rural America: A Reassessment of Conventional Wisdom (Westview Press, 1977), is the head of the Rural Programme, Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris, France. In addition, Dr. Sher is currently a visiting scholar at the school of education of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

The information that appears in this volume was collected as part of the program of work for the OECD/CERI SPA project, Before introducing the book's contents, it may be useful to begin by unscrambling all these initials.

OECD is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Although it was officially created in 1961, OECD can properly be seen as having started just after World War II. In fact, in its earlier incarnation, OECD was the agency directly responsible for administering the Marshall Plan for the economic recovery of Europe.

Currently, the Organisation is composed of twenty-four member national governments. Included are the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States. Yugoslavia also participates in the work of OECD under a special arrangement.

OECD's basic missions are, first, to help member governments promote economic growth, employment, and improved standards of living; and second, to help promote a sound world economy through international cooperation. Under the direction of the OECD Council, the secretary general, and specialized committees, the Organisation is divided into a series of administrative directorates. In relation to this volume, the most important of these is the Directorate for Social Affairs, Manpower and Education.

Within this directorate is a research-oriented unit called the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI). Created in 1968, CERI operates under the supervision of an independent governing board (on which each member country holds one seat). CERI's basic mandate has been to promote cooperation among member countries in the field of educational research and innovation. Over the past twelve years, CERI has sponsored projects on a wide range of educational concerns including recurrent and continuing education, educational technology, curriculum development,
