Abstract | In 1982 the Netherlands National Institute for Curriculum Development (SLO), with the support of Parliament, devised the framework for the Development Education Project (EPOS). This project concerns a national development education network, which is to be supported for a new period, 1986 to 1991. EPOS is comprised of national organizations, research centers, and teacher colleges whose purposes are to assist in the establishment of a permanent position in the curriculum for development education in the first and second stages of secondary education (12-16 year olds) and to improve the quality of education in primary schools. The specific goals of development education are to teach about the lives of people in developing nations in relation to persons living in more affluent regions of the world. Comparisons concerning poverty levels, development possibilities, cooperation, and current theories are stressed. The EPOS Project's network activities include the implementation, evaluation, modification, and development of supplementary materials and tests. The activities are directed by a national coordinating committee comprised of members representing specifically selected and involved organizations. Activities may be funded on the basis of project/activity plans submitted by the network to the national government. (JHP) |
