Abstract	This study attempts to analyze the relationship between Agency for International Development (AID) University contract goals and the problems encountered in educational assistance project activities through an examination of project operations and the adviser's participation in them. Documents and personnel of 5 of 13 AID projects in Thailand were selected for study in the areas of engineering, teacher education, vocational education, educational planning, and agriculture. The central query was whether the goals of educational assistance have been related more to the anticipated problems of assistance than to the actual problems experienced by advisers in project activities. In each of the selected projects the goal as expressed in the contract was to assist in the development of a particular educational institution. The contract also stated necessary implementation activities for the adaptation of American educational patterns to the Thai situation. With few exceptions the goals and activities were never adjusted to meet the problems encountered by the adviser. (JLB)
