dc.description.abstract | This project paper gives the overall findings
of a study designed to assess the performance of
village polytechnics in Nyandarua District in terms
of the promotion of rural development, the attitude
of trainees to employment prospects in the rural areas
and the city and the extent to which the success of
village polytechnics is dependent on the standard 01
living in the rural areas.
In the sample of 12 village polytechnic most
had been successful in placing their leavers in
employment in their local areas although no consistent
monitoring of leaves had been done at the time of the
survey. Although most of the trainees interviewed
expressed a desire to in their home area, a sizeable
minority expressed a preference to work in a town,
particularly Nairobi although the general image of
Nairobi is a village in a vague one.
The role of village polytechnics in promoting
rural development is seen as over- ambitious since the
success of the village polytechnics tends to depend
highly on the pre-existing levels of rural prospect
Several problems restricting the development
of village polytechnics are identified and solution
suggested the greatest danger to the development of
village polytechnics appear to be the growing lack of
flexibility in organisation which prevents village
polytechnics from reacting quickly enough to changes
in the local economy. Recommendations are also made. | en |
