Abstract
The concept of national development remains much contested and the processes of development remain subject to continuing debate. Since the early 1970s, popular strategies for development have shifted their focus from literacy, national economic growth, and basic needs to institutional capability and economic globalization. Integral to these changes, the trends in educational policies have shifted from a priority on access to schooling toward increasing the quality and equity of basic education and, most recently, toward expanding post-basic education.
