SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In recent years, the role of study abroad in development has been the object of increasing examination, as part of the general critique of assistance programs undertaken by international agencies in preparation for the Second Development Decade. This review, by emphasizing the importance of the human role in development, has raised questions as to the more efficient use of educated manpower, the under employment of trained people, the 'brain drain', and how education and training, whether undertaken at home or abroad, could make a greater contribution to the total development of a country. The aim of this monograph is to review the study abroad problem, in order that educational planners and administrators -- particularly in developing countries -- might be informed of some of the recent thinking on the subject. Certain suggestions are made which may help in the more efficient planning and administration of study abroad in the framework of total educational and development planning. (Author/MW).
