The project team would like to acknowledge the very considerable assistance provided within the United Kingdom and overseas in putting together this Report. The help has been so considerable that it would be invidious to identify individuals. We would, however, wish to acknowledge our thanks to the staff at the Overseas Development Administration library. The British Council, the ILO, USAID and the World Bank Population and Human Resources Department, the staff at NBTE and the Nigerian Polytechnics, the Ministry of Education in Thailand and the staff in its Teacher Civil Service Commission, Inspectorate General, Department of Vocational Education, Institute for the Development of Education Administrators, Rajamangala Institute of Technology, Department of Non-Formal Education, and the staff in the institutions within those Departments.
We would like to thank the consultants who contributed to the search conference' at which the initial analyses from the preparatory literature survey were dissected. Finally, we would like to thank Veronica Vaughan and Pat Tyier at The Staff College for all the work they undertook in administering this project and preparing its Reports.
