Abstract: | The nature of the indigenous development movement in education is considered and a case made for using regional strengths in the developing world as a foundation for a new internationalism incorporating the best of the East and West. It is further argued that a well resourced education system is the best instrument for coping with the vast changes to the economic industrial and social order. However, the new demands will have to be met not by further narrow vocationalism but by an emphasis on universal education and providing opportunities for mature age students. Educators are called upon to maintain their commitment to the full personal development of all people. |
