Abstract

These two chapters depict encounters with a Nahuatl-speaking community in Mexico and an agrarian reform cooperative in El Salvador that bring out the vital role of primary education for rural economies and the deficiencies of Latin American educational systems. In Mexico the elders of a community in deep poverty said, in broken Spanish, that there was no future for them, only for the children if they could get a school that functioned. In El Salvador, illiteracy hampered decision-making in a large cooperative concerning which restructuring option they would prefer among a menu of alternatives. Teacher absenteeism was a major concern in both cases.
