The educational highway is littered with a series of embarrassments--radio, film strips, super 8 instructional television, televised instructors, programmed texts, computer-aided instruction, home computers-which were all panaceas in their time.

One of the most perceptive evaluators of the use of media in the Third World has this to say: Given the absence of vernaculars, commonwealth Caribbean governments might reasonably concentrate their development efforts in the field of literacy. The revealing statement underlines realities: Programs and projects are the end result of policy decisions which are made by politicians, both democratic and despotic.
