Product Description
The book opens with a brief description of patterns of industrialization and urbanization in Latin America. The authors then shift to consider the economy of the Venezuelan Gyayana development zone, which spawned the city that bears the region's name. Industrialization and rapid urban growth have created educational complexities and opportunities, and most of Part I of the book focuses on the Ciudad Guayana's future and the schools.

Part II describes the creation of a means to implement the plan developed by the authors. They recomend decentralization of decision making and planning from the capital, and the concentration of local efforts into a Guayana Center for Educational Research, Planning, and Services.

Part III reviews the founding of the Center and its activities between 1966 and 1968 as well as development in the educational institutions of Ciudad Guayana, This section comments on the successes and failures of the Center's three main programs: informal education (literacy and basic education), math and science (middle-school level), and the technical education. The authors suggest where they may have gone wrong in their attempts at implementation.

There are technical appendixes on the sampling scheme and the survey instrumentation, and a detailed description of the factor analysis, canonical correlation, multiple stepwise regression, and multiple discriminant analysis used in the sections offering multivariate perspectives on the barrio families and progress of children through school. ...

AWESOME
I was working on a school facilities project for my master's program and decided to take a look at this book. This turned out to be completely what I needed. I got a little bit of information about many different facilities, including the architectural firm that completed the project. While the book was not what I expected it did cause sparks to go off to think about things I hadn't considered, like earthquake proofing a school. Yes, it was something I knew had to happen, but it came into the light when I actually read it in black and white. Truly a must have for anyone considering reviewing projects.I even found my next vacation spot, Kansas City's EarthWorks Science Center. ... Read more
