EDUCATION IN THE RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

There are various ideas on the most profitable form of contribution which may be gain by accelerating rural development. It has been stated that expenditure on bringing new knowledge to pleasant farmers is the most productive investment which can be made in an emerging countries. In the cause of most of the countries there is more local councilor which was encouraged by their parents. After the independence there began a system of diacritic rural nationalize. The system of election and government laid emphasis on those who were popular in their locality and some became not only members of their parliament but also ministers of state exercising their limitless power in destine of their large communities.

Some of these powerful people of course came from the rural areas and once again the young men, supported and interest in polities as men of achieving power from wealth  and service to the  communities on might term this period the years of political revolution of Nigeria. 

By coincidence the first group of Nigeria went abroad for further Studies return as practicing lawyers. Many of them were seen to make successful practice were natural influential and were known people in the urban a d rural societies. Because of his apparent success of law as a profession a large number of Nigerians, up to the early 1960 went abroad to study law. It can be said that there was a profession revolution in favor of the legal profession within the past few years there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of the scientist in society and a number of scientist have succeeded in making a substantial contribution to national development and creating for themselves a special palace in the society. 

This is now followed by an increasing flow of student “revolution” no doubt the same pattern is followed by many other countries in the developing world. The series of event mentioned  above perhaps suggest that similar pattern could be serve in motion by creating period of agricultural revolution during which agricultural work will then be expected to follow although not strictly through educational means it seems that such a period is a vital beginning for the development of the rural society in the emerging countries.

Unlike the other types of nominal revolution mentioned the agricultural revolution can not on it own accord take place. This is national agricultural work pay ones attempt with only small measure of success, was carried out in western Nigeria by organizing a number of farm settlement centers.

In each group of young men interested in agriculture were house and taught modern techniques of agriculture, but failure to organize a large holding for individuals agricultural enterprises limited its usefulness, it is important that the government makes a definite  effects to organize large holding and cooperative societies in addition to providing the basic agricultural techniques to assure young men and women rural as well as urban areas that was the case in success was carried out in western Nigeria by organizing a number of farm settlement centers. 

The politicians, lawyers, scientist and agriculturalist can bring substantial return what has to be done may vary from place to place but the best method for achieving this objective will still need further study perhaps,( Malaises, 1966) .
