Abstract
A model had been designed for a Community school for a small
town in fulfilment of a written assignment during the first year of the writer's post-graduate course. This model embraced education
from pre-school through primary, middle and senior levels to further
education for individuals and for community. The population of this
parish is approximately three thousand. Within the entire parish
there is a variety of "communities", from at one extreme, those living
in affluence, prosperity and luxury to the other extreme where exists
social and economic deprivation that impinges on the day to day efforts
to live in a community that offers a meagre sense of fulfilment as well
as constraints of human development and of self-actualization. The
further education plan of this proposed community school was
characterized by a diversity of courses, a flexibility of methods, an
adaptability of curricula and a variety of educational venues in order
to embrace effectively this complexity of "communities".
One segment of this urban population, a small specific working
class community, became a special concern of the writer, when an
opportunity arose to do research work in adult education. Prior to
undertaking this project, the writer's knowledge of this specific
community was minimal; this limited awareness was acquired through
hearsay and through conversations with others who were directly or
indirectly involved in their lives. This research was initiated on
the hypothesis that this is a small segment of the parish community
that is socially and educationally deprived and deserves an in-depth
investigation of the people's needs in order that they may be capable
of benefiting satisfyingly and meaningfully from what a new design of
a community school offers to its community. Consequently, this piece
of research marks an initial stage i.e. the first rung of the ladder
that is the identification of Community's needs and the second rung
which is a suggestion of an education programme to meet these needs
which may he entitled "Community Adult Education".
