Theanalysis of this topic focuses on three major areas affected in the modernization process: education, culture, and economic development. (The book is divided into sections for each of these areas as well as a fourth section which presents an orientation and general introdwItion to Egypt.) The contributors present an overview of the impact cf modernization on Egyptian life and institutions. The specific topics covered under the three general themes of education, culture, and economic development are diverse.

KLASSEN * This volume presents a series of lectures by educators, scholars and government officials on the modernization process in Egypt.The analysis of this topic focuses on three major areas affected by the process education, culture and economic development.The contribu- tors preAent an overview of the pervasive impact of the modernization process on Egyptianlife and institutions. Planned change toward improvement in the quality of life becomes both a goal to be achieved and an organizing principle to guide social interaction and the alleca- thnt of society's resources.The impetus toward change is based on the aspirations of broad segments of society whose members must share the responsibilities that come with modernization and learn to cope with the threat to prevailing values, social arrangements and inherited privilege. Contributors to this volume attempt to describe and analyse the broad paged impact of modernization on Egypt and to detail the Pew objectives, functions and roles that various social agencies, such as education, are acquiring in the process. The specific topics covered under the three general themes of education, culture and economic development are diverse.The reader I., thus presented with a series of perspectives rather than as set of close:;;,ttegrated sector analyses. the perspectives, however, are those of Eggptian specialists whose research, experience and planning responsibilities have given them a special insight into the dynamics of the modernization process. The publication of this resource book on Egyptian development is a product of international collaboration between Ain Shams Univer- sity and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. In 1972 and 1973, Dr. Yusef Sa lah El-Din Kotb, former president of Ain Shams University and AACTE established a faculty seminar series on Egypt for American college and university personnel with the support of grants from the Institute of International Studies, USOE. The purpose of the seminars was to provide American teacher educators Associate Director of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education ( AACTE ). IV and faculty from related disciplines with aninternational, instructional experience under the tutelage of specialists fromanother culturean experience that would lead to the incorporation of aninternational dimension in American education.Through this publication the intel- lectual output of the seminars is made available to abroader educa- tional public leading, hopefully, to an increasedunderstanding of contemporary Egypt and to stronger ties betweenEgyptian and American faculty and institutions. The impact of this international collaboration hasbeen further enhanced by inter-institutional cooperation in the United Stater:which was coordinated by the PennsylvaniaCouncil for International Educa- tion and a consortium of institutions in Colorado andUtah under the leadership of Southern Colorado State College andAACTE. The AACTE nsknowledges with appreciation its debt to AinShams Univer- sity, Dr. Salah Kotb, the contributors to this volumeand the American participants in the program.
