| dc.description.abstract | This paper briefly discusses the nature of rural development and the role of education within rural development, and asserts that the major problem for developing countries is to ruralize the curriculum, that is, to inculcate appropriate social attitudes for living and working together in rural communities. Five goals of mathematics for rural development are discussed: 1) the preparation of citizens as users of mathematics, 2) the contribution of mathematicians to cultural synthesis, 3) mathematics as an educative force in every person's life, 4) training of mathematics and other mathematical scientists, and 5) mathematics as a science with its own unique characteristics and beauty | |
