The prediction is that the rural populations of the less-developed countries will increase significantly in the decades to come. The UN predicts these will increase from 1.9 billion in 1970 to 2.6 billion by 1990. Thailand’s rural population alone will increase from 30.6 million in 1970 to 570 million by the year 2000. Furthermore, because of high birth rates and declining infant mortality rates, more than half of the rural population of developing countries is under 20 years of age. This raises serious implications for education.

The main purpose of education is to provide everybody (not only those in urban areas) with relevant knowledge, skills, attitudes and ideas which will enable them to lead more fulfilling, productive and satisfying lives. To assert that everyone has a “right” to education has little practice meaning unless this “right” is translated into terms of some “minimum package” of attitudes, knowledge and skills for all people in a given society. To do otherwise is to create a privileged class at the expense of everyone else. Vague objectives such as “giving every child a good basic education” are meaningless when huge sections of the population are getting little or no education at all.

People in rural areas suffer from inadequate education facilities and opportunities. In most rural areas in developing countries, the out–of-school group constitutes a vast majority of the whole population from, say, 10 to 20 years old. For all practical purposes, they are beyond the reach of formal education but no section of the community should be unchanged by its educational system.
4
Where there are rural primary schools they benefit far fewer rural young people than educational statistics often imply. Primary schools, instead of being the great equalizers of educational opportunity they were meant to be, are the great discriminators. In the rural areas, they equip only a small minority of the young for effective and satisfying adulthood. The majority of rural youngsters are used to living out the ignorance and poverty.
5
This vicious circle has to be broken; the goal must be to provide everybody with basic knowledge and skills. Rather than attempt to enroll every child for a seven or eight year cycle of primary schooling, which is not financially feasible anyway for many countries for many years to come, the strategy should be a shorter four to five year primary cycle to provide every child with the minimum educational needs - literacy, numeracy, health education and those technical and business skills needed to make a decent living. This primary education should be geared for the large majority who will not continue their studies beyond this stage, who will enter straight into productive life.
