EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES By
PETER MANDI
What stage of evolution has been reached by the youngest educational system of the world, and what are the problems it faces? Péter Mándi elucidates these cardinal issues of the Third World, examining the subject in connection with its economic aspects. He starts out by analysing the reasons for the emergence of the economics of education, a discipline investigating interrelationships between education and economic growth, and by giving a thorough critique of its principal representatives. He then presents a new system of his own for the ranking of the educational advancement of different countries, based on a combination of enrollment figures at the three levels of education. After this theoretical discussion, Péter Mándi returns to the issues of educational policies and education strategies. Advocating an integrated planning of education, he presents a variety of planning approaches and comes out in favour of the system based on the forecast of manpower demand. Outlining the history of education in the developed countries he draws conclusions which might prove useful for the
Third World. Further on, he evaluates the most important Unesco conferences dealing with Third World educational policies. He sharply criticizes the solely quantity-oriented educational policies of several developing countries over the last two decades which have emerged as the major cause of shortcomings on the quality side. Presentation and analysis of many other important aspects of the subject, such as the financial prerequisites of education, the supply of teaching personnel, the various forms of educational aid, the role of self-reliance and brain-drain, etc. are also included in his work.
