Political Project

Education gains importance in the constitution of society, influencing economic and power relations and, in the humanistic dimension, it contributes to the incorporation of ethical and sensitive principles, expanding a more inclusive and emancipatory worldview. However, respect for diversity is still a challenge and there is a need for school institutions whose projects operate in different perspectives, among them in the countryside. This article aims to present aspects of rural education, understanding its peculiarities and correlating them to the Pedagogical Political Project of a country school, unveiling what is established (or not) as the purpose of a rural pedagogical practice. The methodology is based on a qualitative analysis, with a bibliographic and documentary approach. The results show a conception of rural education that is attentive to the needs of the rural community and that the pedagogical project of the investigated College, in general, converges with this conception. It was concluded that school education in the countryside needs to ensure specificities in its pedagogical project, respecting practices typical of the daily life of these rural communities and, thus, carrying out a humanistic and emancipatory process of the subjects.

This project employed community researchers as a means of improving community engagement around their Private Water Supplies (PWS) in rural Scotland. In this paper, we reflect on working with community researchers in terms of the benefits and challenges of the approach for future rural research that seeks to improve community engagement. The paper (1) critiques the involvement of community researchers for rural community engagement, drawing on the experiences in this project and (2) provides suggestions for good practice for working with community researchers in rural communities’ research. We offer some context in terms of the role of community members in research, the importance of PWS, our approach to community researchers, followed by the methodological approach and findings and our conclusions to highlight that community researchers can be beneficial for enhancing community engagement, employability, and social capital. Future community researcher approaches need to be fully funded to ensure core researchers can fulfil their duty of care, which should not stop when data collection is finished. Community researchers need to be supported in two main ways: as continuing faces of the project after the official project end date and to transfer their newly acquired skills to future employment opportunities.

Effectiveness And Efficiency

South Africa (SA) has a decentralised education system. It is generally assumed that decentralisation improves the effectiveness and efficiency of education by responding to the needs, values, and expectations of both local and rural communities. A large part of SA could be described as rural and a large number of learners attend rural schools. This makes rural education a significant part of the South African education context. With education being decentralised, and with decentralisation being heralded as the panacea to the problems faced by rural communities as well as rural education, the assumption is that rural education should be of a high quality. This desk-top paper assesses the potential of decentralisation to improve the quality and effectiveness of South African rural education. This it does by locating decentralisation within neoliberalism which this paper argues is the impetus behind the decentralisation of South African education, and the reason for the decline in the quality and effectiveness of rural education. The paper also highlights certain tensions between the various decentralised spheres of governance, namely the central and provincial Departments of Education and school-level governance structures. The paper further indicates how these tensions potentially hamper the effectiveness and efficiency of rural education. The paper concludes with some recommendations aimed at improving rural education.

In South Africa, communal rural community development has, for the most part, been viewed as an add-on, rather than as an integral value in the broad spectrum of conservation activities being practised in the country. This paper, therefore, argues for the reality-based adoption of an extension of existing conservation paradigms to incorporate the development of communal rural communities as an integral part of the overall wildlife conservation and management policy in South Africa. The answer to the seeming contradiction in the focus of wildlife conservation and rural development lies in the devel- opment of wildlife management programmes based on multi-disciplinary and multiinstitutional interaction, by also harnessing scientific knowledge and skills found in the social sciences. In this manner, the present largely lip service related to so-called com- munity participation in wildlife management can be changed into programmes which really achieve conservation-based community development enhancing survival for both the communities and their inherent natural resources.

Abstract Introduction: Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing a surge in the burden of hypertension, and rural communities seem to be increasingly affected by the epidemic. Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension, its associated factors, as well as its awareness, treatment, and control rates in rural communities of the Baham Health District (BHD), Cameroon.Design: A community-based cross-sectional study.Setting: Participants from five health areas in the BHD were recruited from August to October 2018.Participants: Consenting participants aged 18 years or older were included. Results: We included 526 participants in this study. The median age of the participants was 53.0 (IQR = 35 – 65) years and 67.1% were female. The prevalence of hypertension was 40.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 36.7 – 45.1) were hypertensive with no gender disparity. The overall age-standardised prevalence of hypertension was 23.9% (95% CI = 20.3 – 27.5). Five-year increase in age (adjusted odd’s ratio [AOR] = 1.34; 95% CI = 1.23 – 1.44), family history of hypertension (AOR = 2.22; 95% CI = 1.37 – 3.60), and obesity were associated with higher odds of hypertension (AOR = 2.57; 95% CI = 1.40 – 4.69).The rates of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension were 37.2% (95% CI = 31.0 – 43.9), 20.9% (95% CI = 16.0 – 26.9), and 22.2% (95% CI = 15.2 – 46.5), respectively.Conclusion: The high hypertension prevalence in this rural community is associated with contrastingly low awareness, treatment, and control rates. Age, family history of hypertension, and obesity are the major drivers of hypertension in this community. Veracious policies are needed to improve awareness, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control of hypertension in this rural community.

This article presents the results of a research that analyzed the pedagogical work carried out by teachers graduated from the Course in Rural Education (LEC) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). The contradictions of capitalist society are problematized to explain the repercussions on the working class in terms of exclusion and limitations in the access to material and cultural goods. The agrarian question is raised as a fundamental question of the capitalist society and its unfoldings on the working class. Rural Education is presented as a project of the working class whose aim is to face the structural order posed by bourgeois society. The pedagogical work of the research subjects is analyzed in the light of the four pillars that founded the Political Project of the Course (PPC), namely: consistent theoretical basis, political formation, class awareness, and revolutionary organization with insertion in class struggles with a look towards the pedagogical treatment given to the agrarian issue category, bearing in mind to confront the conception of the training and the teachers' practice in regards to the implementation of a revolutionary pedagogical practice. The research data reveals that not all teachers incorporated the conception of the content and method of the training to their respective practices.

This paper aims to investigate the extent to which a rural community develops a capacity to support the establishment of a local creative economy despite various limitations. This study employs qualitative research methods in examining two villages in Indonesia, namely Kasongan and Krebet. Our findings show that the community capacity and actor networks potentially spark the development of rural economies. Local communities in both cases have utilized cultures and traditions as creative capitals, which were commercialized through communal entrepreneurship and mobilized by an organized network of creative actors. Social values, namely a strong sense of belonging, high shared values and strong emotional connections, are found to be the key factors that foster creative potentials, entrepreneurial capacity, and capacity for mobilization of local resources within the rural communities

Keragaman etnis ini mempengaruhi keragaman nilai-nilai masyarakat dalam membangun interaksi. Orang membangun interaksi salah satunya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya, sehingga orang pada umumnya menggunakan kelembagaan sebagai wadah untuk berinteraksi satu sama lain sesuai dengan norma dan nilai yang berlaku. Kebutuhan utama masyarakat adalah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan makanan, pakaian, dan papan. Lembaga yang memenuhi kebutuhan ini adalah lembaga ekonomi. Kabupaten Buton Utara merupakan kabupaten baru yang mekar dari kabupaten induknya yaitu kabupaten buton pada tahun 2007. Adanya kebijakan transmigrasi di Kabupaten Buton, membuat kabupaten ini memiliki masyarakat yang sangat heterogen. Terkait dengan keberagaman masyarakat Buton Utara akibat adanya kebijakan transmigrasi maka menarik untuk melihat bagaimana peran kelembagaan dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat? Merujuk hal tersebut, rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah (1) Bagaimana institusi lokal berkembang di masyarakat pedesaan multietnis di Bonegunu Kecamatan Kabupaten Buton Utara?, (2) Bagaimana kondisi ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan multietnis di Kecamatan Bonegunu Kabupaten Buton Utara ?, dan (3) Bagaimana Peran Kelembagaan dalam meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan multietnis di Bonegunu Kecamatan Kabupaten Buton Utara ?. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pemilihan informan purposive. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah institusi lokal yang berkembang di Kecamatan Bonegunu yang merupakan Lembaga Adat. Kecamatan Bonegunu umumnya memiliki potensi sawah yang tinggi. Namun, potensi ini belum dimanfaatkan dengan baik karena tidak adanya saluran irigasi yang memadai. Karena itu, orang menggunakan modal sosial dan hubungan kekeluargaan yang ada di antara mereka. Selain itu, konsensus yang dibangun antar kelompok etnis juga membuat komunitas multietnis dapat bersama-sama memecahkan masalah ekonomi tanpa kehilangan identitasnya.Kata Kunci: Etnisitas, Kemiskinan, Modal Sosial
