摘要

增加入学率一直是投资的重点,即使在人口过剩、无法满足全球经济需求的偏远农村地区也是如此。根据在莱索托、印度和老挝农村地区的小学及其邻近社区进行的民族志研究,我们探讨了年轻人、他们的父母和教师在融入专业就业(或任何回报良好的经济活动)前景渺茫的地方如何接受教育。我们展示了学校教育如何利用抱负,向农村儿童提供了一个“更美好的未来”的承诺。然而,孩子们对这样的承诺的依恋是脆弱的,少数人无视可能性并取得了成功,这增强了他们的感情,但也给他们带来了困扰。我们质疑为什么教育系统继续促进大多数人无法实现的职业抱负,为什么捐助者和政府如此大量地投资于增加无法吸收的人力资本。

Educating 'surplus population': uses and abuses of aspiration in the rural peripheries of a globalising world
Increasing school enrolment has been a focus of investment, even in remote rural areas whose populations are surplus to the requirements of the global economy. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in primary schools and their neighbouring communities in rural areas of Lesotho, India and Laos, we explore how young people, their parents and teachers experience schooling in places where the prospects of incorporation into professional employment (or any well rewarded economic activity) are slim. We show how schooling uses aspiration, holding out a promise of a 'better future' remote from the lives of rural children. However, children’s attachment to such promises is tenuous, boosted yet troubled by the small minority who defy the odds and succeed. We question why education systems continue to promote occupational aspirations that are unattainable by most, and why donors and governments invest so heavily in increasing human capital that cannot be absorbed.
