Xavier University [Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines]: its role in development
1987
Canlas, E.S. (Xavier Univ., Cagayan de Oro City (Philippines). Dept. of Economics and Rural Development)
This paper begins by saying that the Production Education concept of Xavier University [Philippines] is designed to produce graduates who will go back to the rural areas as producers and as rural leaders. To achieve this difficult task of reversing or stemming the outflow of youthful talents from our rural areas requires that agricultural graduates be thoroughly grounded in the correct philosophy of man, a correct philosophy of land, and a clear understanding of how man's work or labor can clearly transform an unyielding land into a bountiful resource. The paper thus describes how the university-based organizational structures evolved to implement the basic concept mentioned above and that over time. The training widened its focus not only on university students but also on the small farmers from Mindanao [Philippines], and eventually on the small farmers of the Third World. Two such structures were discussed here: the Xavier University Extension Service and SEARSOLIN [Southeast Asia Rural Social Leadership Institute, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines].
