This paper is based on qualitative research undertaken in West Nile Uganda and Coastal Kenya as part of a broader development project. A wide range of stakeholders, including government officials, parents, and early childhood practitioners were involved in sharing their perspectives of what life is like for young children (birth to age 8) in their homes, communities, and institutions. Data gathered were then brought back to community members to solicit action plans. The author brings to the data her reflections and lived experience as a mzungu (white person) brought to the region under the guise of development work and the ethical issues that ensued. It was clear that minority world discourses and conceptions of what constitutes a good life for children had permeated the value systems and goals of many adults in this majority world context. However, when challenged to think deeply about the systemic issues affecting their children, participants began to see the importance of finding ways to meld indigenous values, beliefs, and practices with the globalization agenda.

Rozwój obszarów wiejskich pozostaje głównym wyzwaniem dla rządów w większości krajów świata. Powodem tego są różne czynniki, jednak edukacja została zidentyfikowana jako znaczące narzędzie zmian, zdolne do promowania rozwoju tych obszarów. Nie dzieje się to w oderwaniu od polityki i zarządzania, które są postrzegane jako utrudnienia dla edukacji i innych sektorów we wspieraniu rozwoju obszarów wiejskich. W niniejszym badaniu zidentyfikowano konkretne role, jakie polityka i dobre zarządzanie mają do odegrania w zapewnieniu zrównoważonego rozwoju społeczności wiejskich w krajach globalnego Południa za pośrednictwem edukacji. Wyniki badanie wskazują, że istotne jest, aby liderzy edukacyjni byli zaangażowani w tworzenie polityki w odniesieniu do społeczności wiejskich. Zarządzanie zapewniane społecznościom wiejskim powinno uwzględniać lokalne potrzeby i wartości ludzi, promując w ten sposób glokalizację, dając jednocześnie miejsce na globalizację.

Rural development remains a major challenge for different governments across the majority world. The reason for this has been attributed to different factors. However, education has been identified as a significant tool for change, capable of promoting rural development. This is not in isolation of policy and governance, which are seen as being able to hinder education and other relevant sectors from contributing to rural development. This study identified specific roles to be performed by policy and good governance in ensuring sustainable development in rural communities in the majority world through education. The study recommends that educational leaders should be involved in policy-making with regard to rural communities. The governance provided to rural communities should take cognizance of local needs and the values of the people, thus, promoting glocalization while giving room for globalization.
