Originally published in 1985. In the last two decades education in
the Third World has greatly expanded, raising many important
issues. Some less developed countries have emulated the West in the
style and organisation of their academic systems, hence, it could
be said, increasing their dependence. Others have deliberately
avoided this path, experimenting with systems more relevant to
development and often in a radical way. At a theoretical level,
Marxist and neo-Marxist development theorists argue that education
systems dependent on the West are evidence of economic dependency
and of the correctness of Marxist development theories; while
others argue that the evidence points to an interdependent world
and that dependency theories do not apply to education.
Interestingly two key Marxist Third World Countries, China and
Cuba, have very conservative education systems. This book discusses
the problems of dependence and interdependence in education
throughout the world.
