(2) what are its causes? and (3) what can be done to make schools more efficient? Wastage is defined as the missed opportunities for individuals, communities, entire nations, and regions of the world. Finding ways to minimize 'school wastage' must play a central role in any serious effort to reach the goal of Education for All (EFA). Four parts are included in this report: (1) "The Goal of Education for All"; (2) "The Problem of School Wastage"; (3) "The High Cost of Wastage"; and (4) "What Can Be Done about School Wastage?" Many graphics and tables are included along with a glossary of 36 terms and a 20-item select bibliography. (LB) Microfiche.
