Organisation and Management of Field Education: A Manual for Co-operative Field Educations

Abstract

This manual is part of a series of resource and reference booklets published by CEMAS to support co-operative education programmes in developing countries. Although the manual is primarily intended for co-operative field education workers, it can - and indeed it should - be studied by other field workers even if they are not directly involved in cooperative education and training. Co-operative leaders, chief executives, policy makers and heads of training institutions should also be_encouraged to read the manual. The tasks involved in organising and managing co-operative education are not the exclusive function of the field educator; they require the participation of co-operative leaders such as committee members, managers of secondary societies, senior co-operative officers, commissioners for co-operative development, heads of co-operative training institutions and other senior officers who decide on or influence - policy relating to cooperative education and training.
