"Teachers, parents, students and the governmental agencies are involved in the process of education.

The social strata from whom teachers and students come go to determine the quality of education.

The process like the community from whom the teachers come and the communities from whom the students can go a long way in influencing the curriculum contents and the outcome of learning.

The major problem of any system of education is the outcome of learning after students learn the curriculum and go back to their home as trained citizens of a civilized society." (jacket)
