individuals as units of analysis. This essentIally WIll
not give the dynamic picture of quality of schoollng
In
all its dimensions.
From the survey of literature I t IS found that
the studies on behaviour of schools in community conte~t
are very few. One reason for lack of such studies may
be In operationalising the concept of community In
relation to a school in the urban conte~ts. In general
research scholars have neglected the rural socIal
context.
Thus there is a need for specifIcally focussed
studies USing the rural settlements as the unIt of
analysis to understand the dynamic nature and changes In
the availability of schooling facllitles, the
qualitative aspects of the available schoolIng
facilities and the interaction of the socIal and
economic factors within the rural settlements. ThiS
Will in essence give a deeper Insight of the ne~us
between stratification and education.
In order to study
the nature of such nexus the follOWing study was
undertaken . •
"Interaction of village characteristics
and school in terms of
quality and utilisation
-
A study of villages in Tu~kur
