"Report of a four-day Seminar on Educational Publishing in Developing Countries organized in connection with the Third World Book Fair, 1978, in which 83 participants from 24 countries, representing the public and private sectors in developed as well as developing countries, discussed relevant aspects of educational publishing. Subjects covered ranged from textbooks to out-of-school reading material, problems of copyright and translation rights, and such controversial issues as the role of government and multinational firms. One of the aims throughout was to relate educational publishing to complex socio-economic issues like free and compulsory education, adult literacy, development of Indian languages, more money for education, education for science and research, equalization of educational opportunity, and creation of increasing awareness of education as a means of modernization."
