The key position and role of women in the process of development is increasingly being recognizeD、Although the three great WorldConferences of Women were more concerned with recognizing and compiling approaches to emancipation, we can currently confirm a general sharpening of awareness. It has become clear that the Third World cultures, in earlier times strongly matriarchal, have been weakened in this respect by the methods of colonial education which are almost exclusively directed towards the male. Of the many criticisms of this situation let one voice be heard: "Development education groups and programs are very much male dominated and lack woman’s perspective". So, too, the hopes placed in vocational training—"vocationalization"—as an aid to equality have been disappointed since this in its turn was to large extent focused on the male.In these circumstances we should not be surprised that until now women have participated least in the educational processes which have been introduceD、Only 20% attend primary school and the percentage of those who leave early is highest among girls.Because of the lack of basic training only around 10% take part inAdultEducation programs; hence it is vitally important to secure a turning point by increasing the awareness of the need for education.
