Three quarters of the world’s poor, those earning less than a dollar a day, live in rural areas. One in five children in the South still does not attend primary school and, while rural-urban statistics on education are scarce, many countries report that non-attendance in school, early dropout of students, adult illiteracy and gender inequality in education are disproportionately high in rural areas, as is poverty. Education for rural people is a topic that requires increasing attention from the international community as well as from civil society as a key element of national and global actions aiming at advancing achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). A collaborative effort of government, NGOs and the civil society is essential to address the basic educational needs of rural people. This book deals with the importance of education in the socio-cultural development of rural people. It makes in-depth analysis of various aspects of education and largely concentrated on how to make rural education meaningful and successful. It also deals with the development aspect of rural society. Academicians, scholars, policy-planners, students and all who are interested in rural development will find this work of utmost use.
