The purpose of this volume is to analyze the problems of school finance in Madagascar, including those that have arisen in the past decade and those anticipated in the present decade (through 1980). More generally, this book examines past and future connections between the economic and educational systems in Madagascar. The author examines the most apparent connections between economics and education, which can be discovered by quantitative analysis. He projects the future of these connections by structural explanations, and he shows how educational and economic systems are integrated in Madagascan society. (Author/DS)
