Has international education been politicized?

Abstract: Education for information transfer has become a critical factor in the socioeconomic development process. International information education is carried out by formal programs, nonformal strategies, and informal activities. Areas in need of strengthening include (1) information management and professional decision making, (2) information support to small, national, and multinational enterprises, (3) indigenous cultures and resources, (4) research and its diffusion, and (5) training the trainers. The international atmosphere of these activities is politically charged and interculturally sensitive, presenting a challenge to projects such as the International Clearinghouse for Information Education and Training which provides assistance to educators in developing countries. © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
