ABSTRACT
Leading educational thinkers are increasingly using a revolutionary vocabulary when discussing education of the future; the new watchwords are change, innovation, reform, and regeneration. Educators are searching a number of avenues to enable them to change educational methods by building educational programs around the realities of individual communities. In rural areas “development” education will train people specifically for increasing crop production, development of handicrafts or improvement of health facilities. The educational needs of people in urban areas can be interpreted in the same community-development light. While some of the educational changes may seem difficult to achieve and far in the future for many countries, these are not such radical departures from present systems that architects and administrators cannot now begin to accept the need for such changes. Architects have an educational responsibility that is a heavy one. Static outmoded educational buildings of today are a major impediment to educational change.
