520			_aRural development education faces the biggest challenge in ensuring the quality of education and the relevance of curricula offered. Faced with constraints like inadequate funding, excess intake of students, poor infrastructure, declining quality of research and teaching, it often fails to meet high employment expectations and empowerment targets. These problems are compounded with the competing demands of other components of rural education and the absence of policies for higher education for agriculture and rural development. This article underlines that the content of rural development education and the methods by which learning is facilitated should be contextualised in the sense that it is pertinent to the experience, culture and environment and relevant to the needs and aspirations of the local people at all the levels. - Reproduced.
