Author

Connecticut Univ., Storrs. School of Education., Snyder, Patricia A., and Stone, Frank A.

Abstract

These papers from the World Education Workshop on minority education present the question of minority education in its many guises around the world. Basic objectives of the workshop include bringing together people concerned with the polycultural and international dimensions in the preparation of professional educators, promoting recognition of a global perspective as a viable approach to many contemporary issues, and collecting materials that could be shaped into instructional curricula. The major presentations discuss minority education as it is defined and dealt with in Latin America, the Middle East and India. The 19 shorter papers discuss aspects of minority education in Wales, Israel, Turkey, South Africa, Africa, India, the Philippines, Peoples Republic of China, and the United States; discuss minorities as defined by race, color, religion, immigrant status, socioeconomic status, language, military and civilian status; and discuss the processes and programs that the recognition of minority rights necessitates. A list of the workshop participants is included. (JH)
