Abstract	Agency for International Development (AID) education and training assistance to developing countries is herein reviewed by the General Accounting Office (GAO), with particular attention paid to the changes in emphasis since the 1973 New Directions Mandate by Congress and to the nature of recurring problems in improving education of the poor. One major problem for instance, is that even though primary school enrollment tripled during the 1950's and 1960's, the number of uneducated people in developing countries has soared due to spiraling population growth. The GAO recommends in this report that AID focus attention on three issues: (1) there should be increased involvement of the host governments in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of U.S. sponsored projects with greater emphasis on host-country ability to carry out implementation and sustain recurring costs; (2) more effective use of AID's 20 years of experience in planning, designing, and carrying out education development projects is needed to help develop relevant learning opportunities for the poor majority in these nations; (3) closer coordination and cooperation of external donors among themselves and with recipient governments is necessary to ascertain the most essential education development needs and to best use all available resources in meeting those needs.
