Description or Abstract

The main aim of this review is to provide an overall picture of multigrade education; what it is about, its various forms, when it has emerged, where and why it is applied, and where and why it works best. I will try to explore how far the kind of education should fit the social context, whether we should stick to formal public education even if it is not working in some areas, and how far muligrade schooling can be an alternative developmental strategy to fill in the gaps of the public education system. This was a term paper I submitted in my first semester as an AUC graduate student pursuing my MA in International and Comparative Education; majoring in International Education Policy and Planning . Eventually, this paper became the backbone of my thesis and the starting point for a more solid literature review to which teacher preparation issues were later added in addition to the field work and the methodological tools involved in the research study itself, together with the findings, the data analysis and the proposed recommendations.
