Generating outcome measurements, economic and societal

IT COVERS HOW TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ON SOCIAL RETURNS FROM EDUCATION. IT EXAMINES THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND CULTURAL PAYOFFS FROM EDUCATION. A SET OF EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES RELATING TO SOCIETAL OBJECTIVES OF DEVELOPMENT IS PRESENTED, FOLLOWED BY QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION: IS THE LISTING SUFFICIENTLY COMPREHENSIVE, AND IS IT TOO VAGUE TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR SELECTING CRITERIA-OUTPUT-ORIENTED OBJECTIVES OR TOO LENGTHY TO BE MEANINGFUL FOR ANY ONE EDUCATIONAL POLICY? OTHER DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE THESE QUESTIONS: WHAT ARE THE MORE EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO GATHERING DATA ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL OUTCOMES? IF MODERNITY IS AN OBJECTIVE OF AN EDUCATIONAL POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT, HOW MIGHT THIS QUALITY BE TESTED FOR ITS IMPACT ON DEVELOPMENT? HOW MIGHT INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY BE MEASURED IN RURAL AREAS OR IN SELECTED CITY EMPLOYMENTS? ARE THERE DIFFERENCES IN EARNINGS BETWEEN THOSE WITH SPECIFIED TYPES OF EDUCATION AND THOSE WITHOUT A REASONABLE MEASURE OF PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE AND WHAT DO EARNINGS COMPARISONS BY LEVEL OF SCHOOL PROVIDE AS A GUIDE TO EDUCATIONAL PLANNING? ARE APPROXIMATE RATES OF RETURN ON EDUCATION A FACTUAL BASIS FOR EDUCATIONAL DECISIONS? WHAT IS THE RELATIVE SHARE OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES SPENT IN RURAL AND URBAN AREAS? SEVERAL RELATED SCHEMATICS, TABLES, AND GRAPHS ARE PRESENTED.
