Improving education in rural areas: Guidance for rural development specialists Jeanne Moulton For Charles Maguire, The world bank January 2001J. Moulton, rural education , 05/16/01 third draft ii Executive summary Universal basic education is a critical part of rural development. Individuals who have had some education are better farmers and more capable of finding off-farm employment. The rural sector also benefits from the overall development of the national economy and the alleviation of poverty, in which basic education is essential. Yet rural primary schools in low-income countries often suffer because they are remote from the central offices of the ministry of education , which distribute instructional resources, so their quality is poor. In addition, the national schooling model, developed in an urban context, is not so relevant to the rural setting, and rural families cannot afford the direct cost of schooling nor the opportunity cost of having their children away for many hours of the day in low-quality schools.
To pull together the experience of ministries, the World Bank, and other funding agencie s on basic education in rural areas, we looked at three kinds of data. ♦ To review the World Bank’s experience, we constructed a database on Bank basic and primary education projects between 1989 and 1999 that included rural schools in their domain.
