Item A comparative review of nation studies(University of Alberta, 1979) Bacchus, M. Kazim;Item A quantitative assessment of the levels of education required in Guyana by 1975(Jun. 1968) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This paper provides a quantitative estimate of the types and levels of education that would be required in Guyana in 1975 to man the economy. It uses the "manpower requirements approach," which attempts to foresee the future occupational structure of the economy and to plan the educational system so as to provide the requisite number of personnel with the qualifications that the structure demandsItem A review and analysis of attempts in the West Indies to relate education to the perceived needs of the labour market - with special reference to Guyana(Apr. 1991) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This article reviews the unsuccessful efforts of Guyana to relate its educational programmes more directly to the work environment. It finds that the failure is directly related to the nature of the unemployment situation and the wage level. It concludes that it is impossible to educate people in an area that they do not see as being in their best interestItem Changing attitudes to educational expenditure in a developing nation(Jun. 1971) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This article investigated changes in the attitudes of certain influential groups in Guyanese society--mainly senior civil servants, government advisors, and legislators, who influence changes in the structure of educational expenditure--towards educational expenditure during the period 1945-65. It was found that there were indeed marked changes in the attitudes of decision makers to educational expenditure since 1945. It was possible to identify four periods in which different attitudes to educational expenditure dominated: 1) the immediate post-war period, 2) from the late 1940s to the mid 1950s, 3) from the mid-1950s to the achievement of self-government in the early 1960s, and 4) the post-1960 period from self-government to independence. These changing attitudes seemed to have been influenced by two major factors: 1) whenever there was the feeling that a "crisis" situation existed in the country, an expansion in the educational services was deemed necessary, since it was thought that more education could, in some undefinable way, help to overcome the crises; and 2) the political changes towards self-government and independence which were taking place at the time were accompanied by a marked desire to increase expenditure on educationItem Curriculum reform, volume I(Commonwealth Secretariat, 1991) Bacchus, M. Kazim;Item Early efforts at educating the Indians in the Caribbean(1988) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This article examines the history of three native Caribbean groups: the Ciboney, the Arawaks, and the Caribs, from the beginning of European civilization in the 15th century. It details the destruction of Indian society and culture by Spanish settlers, who subjugated the natives with education and religion. A section of "Some Positive Educational Contributions by the Missionaries" is includedItem Education and decolonization(1969) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This paper sought to examine the role of education in the process of decolonization. It discusses the two different points of view as to whether education can make a contribution to bringing about basic social and economic changes in society, and advances the view that most educationists would tend to support the argument that education can play a positive role in this directionItem Education and society among the non-whites in the West Indies prior to emancipation(Jun. 1990) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This article discusses the educational system of the West Indies prior to emancipation. It analyses the contradictions between the needs of the capitalist mode of agriculture and the education of slaves, and traces the changing attitudes of planters to slave education. It examines teaching methods, curriculum, and teacher education. The role of missionaries and the church in slave education is includedItem Education and socio-cultural integration in a ""plural"" society(McGill University, 1970) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This study attempted to compare the changes that had taken place among the major ethnic groups in Guyana--a ""plural"" society--and to examine these changes in light of the major theoretical models that had been used to analyze the structure and dynamics of such societies. It was based on educational data for the period 1920-1965Item Education as and for legitimacy: Developments in West Indian education between 1846 and 1895(Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1994) Bacchus, M. Kazim;This book studies the development of education in the British West Indian colonies from 1846 to 1895. The volume examines the educational policies and the curriculum of schools following the emancipation of slaves in the context of the economic, political, and social structures of these colonies. In addition, the study examines, on one hand, the role education played in the social and political changes in the colonies and, on the other hand, analyses the role of the state in the development and implementation of educational policies and programmes for the region. Following an extensive introduction, "Socio-Economic and Political Changes Affecting Educational Developments in the British West Indies, 1864-95," chapters include: 1) "Consensus and Conflict over the Provision of Elementary Education"; 2) "Primary School Enrollment and Attendance"; 3) "Factors Influencing School Enrollment and Attendance"; 4) "The Dominance of Religious Education in the Curriculum of the Primary Schools"; 5) "The Role of Industrial Education in the Curriculum of the Primary Schools"; 6) Other Developments in Primary Education"; 7) "Teachers: Their Supply and Status"; 8) "Primary Education, 1846-95: Summary and Conclusions"; 9) Secondary and Post-secondary Education, 1846-96"; 10) "Secondary School Curriculum"; 11) "Secondary Education and Upward Social Mobility"; and 12) "Analysis and Interpretation"Item Education for development or underdevelopment? Guyana's educational system and its implications for the Third World(Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1980) Bacchus, M. Kazim;The Government of Guyana undertook several reforms of its education system in the hope of stimulating economic development, but with unexpected results. After examining a number of schools, the study describes the political, social, and economic background and attempts to draw some conclusions of benefit to other developing countries.
