Educators in both the developed & developing countries have approached problems of educational development in 1 of 2 frameworks. The traditional approach has put the stress on developing the necessary structures & personnel as part of an indigenous attack on institution-building. More recently the emphasis has shifted to the purposes of education, which in turn would determine the patterns of institutional development. Whatever the differences between these 2 approaches, the identification & preparation of qualified individuals--staff development--remain central, & certain lessons are at hand from 25 years of experience in international educational cooperation. A recent review of this experience supported by 12 large donor agencies helps to illuminate the problem. Various models have emerged in South America, East Africa, & in Asia. If there is a desire to learn from the past & not "become famous" in the present, there is a rich body of experience relatively untapped which serious & interested groups may explore. HA.
