Synopsis

More than half the world's population and over 70 per cent of the world's poor are found in rural areas where hunger and illiteracy are common. Better basic education is crucial for promoting sustainable development, rural economic growth and poverty reduction. In order to meet these challenges, this publication has been jointly produced by the FAO and UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP), with the aim of advancing integrated education and training approaches that fully recognise the special nature of the rural environment. It looks current trends and good practice strategies for improving the quality of basic education in rural areas.
