Consultation on the Extension of the Associated Schools Project to the University Level: Report.
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, Paris (France).
Focusing on ways of extending UNESCO's 1974 recommendation concerning international education to the university level, educators from India, Mexico, Sweden, Nigeria, and the United States convened in Paris, August 22-26, 1977. The 1974 recommendation reaffirmed the responsibility of UNESCO nations to pursue educational opportunity, and advancement of justice, freedom, human rights, and peace. The document presents a four-part outline of the conference discussion. Part I considers the role and responsibility of universities in international education. Topics include the fragmentary nature of existing programs; contributions of university departments of peace studies, political science, and nuclear physics; program developments in elementary and secondary schools; and international themes which should be included in university curricula. Part II suggests how to implement education relating to world problems, human rights, peace, area studies, foreign languages, international relations, geography, and history. Recommendations include stressing an interdisciplinary approach and disseminating United Nations literature. Part III lists 12 guidelines for pilot international education projects. Part IV presents a proposal for launching a university international education program. The proposal stresses cooperative policy planning, international agency aid in data collection and analysis, and benefits of participating in international education programs. (Author/DB)
