Wastage in Education: A World Problem. Studies and Surveys in Comparative Education Series.
Brimer, M. A.; Pauli, L.
This document explores the problem of educational wastage in elementary and secondary schools of United Nations member countries. Educational wastage exists in the (1) failure of a system to provide universal education, (2) failure to recruit children into the system, (3) failure to hold children within the system, (4) failure of the system to set appropriate objectives, and (5) inefficiency in the achievement of objectives. The discussion cites the social, economic, political, and educational factors contributing to educational inefficiency. The report lists 28 specific recommendations for reducing educational wastage and proposes additional research and expanded international cooperation. (RA)
