课程内容
The primary objectives of this course are the following three: a) to understand the role of human resources development (HRD) in economic and social development; b) to understand the analysis of the HRD sector (education sector); and c) to develop an understanding of the economic concepts and approaches for HRD public policy-making and strategic planning. This course covers HRD issues in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. This course also covers methodologies and applications of cost analysis, cost-effectiveness, and cost-benefit analysis in education. The roles of crucial development organizations (e.g., UNESCO, UNICEF, OECD, World Bank) are reviewed by examining how they have challenged sustainable development and poverty reduction in developing countries.
Finally, this course provides exposure to applications and challenges of strategic planning presented by means of guest lectures offered by experts working in governments of countries of the Global South and in international organizations (e.g., UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank). Students will have the opportunity to interact with leaders working in governments and international organizations. This course will be helpful for those who wish to work for international organizations in human resources development.
