Abstract

Education is an important service which can be financed from local sources of a country. However, many countries have a large uneducated population, people who are unable to make significant progress. International organizations have been calling for different ways to support the education sector for a long time. What determines the success of a development program? This study provides an insight into some programs, pilots and the socio-cultural background of the participants. It is based on participant observation and ethnographic interviewing methodology.
