The main objectives of the workshop were to: (1) review policies and plans for the development of primary education; (2) identify alternative objectives, issues and growth points; (3) develop training strategies for the implementation of new models, trends and new processes of primary education; and (4) consider possible plans and materials for any follow-up workshop on inservice training. The educational issues treated during discussions were concerned broadly with quality of education, quality of educational management, and disparities. A close link was revealed between intentions held for educational developments and overarching national development plans. The former often derived from the latter, but sufficient resources were not always provided for full implementation. It is concluded that, despite substantial national allocations to education, more would be welcomed. As societies change, there will be more changes and developments in primary education, and more issues and problems. The way to prepare school personnel to cope with the demands of new developments, trends and processes in primary education remains a major task of the system.
