Recent worldwide efforts to further economic growth and social development have turned attention anew to the role that education may play in developmental processes. This paper ex plores valuations that up until recently have underlain most coun try development programs. The justification of education as invest ment in human capital is critically examined, as is the use of out moded economic concepts and models in educational planning. The paper suggests as an alternative the use of an integrated ap proach to development and education. The possibilities for such an approach have recently been suggested by theoretical social scientists as well as by practical planners. The consequence of integration will be new combinations of work/ action and learning and revised strategies for preparation of a new kind of educator.
