There has long been a debate about the role of schools and relevant education in community development in less developed areas. Efforts are continually being made to relate the work of schools more closely to the life of the local community. First published in 1985, School and Community in Less Developed Areas discusses this important subject.
This volume considers relevant theory and reviews specific examples to highlight the difficulties of translating intentions into practice. It examines the problem as it relates to education at different levels and looks at the problem in relation to less developed areas, both Third World countries and the more backward parts of developed countries, from right around the world. The book will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of education.
Kevin M. Lillis, at the time of the first publication, was lecturer in the Department of Education in Developing Countries at the Institute of Education, University of London, UK.
