Abstract	This booklet comprises eleven articles selected from a set of papers delivered by a number of professional educators and researchers during seminars arranged in the West Indies and the United States in compliance with the goals of the Caribbean American Scholars Exchange Program. The 11 articles are grouped in 4 sections. The first section regarding cultural and philosophical frameworks, deals with the official languages as opposed to the folk languages in the Caribbean. A second section, labeled missions and directions, focuses on health as an environmental, social, and economic factor; the role and function of the traditionally black colleges; liberal arts or vocational education for the American black; and options for consideration in Caribbean education. Section 3 on political and cultural variances in systems and services, discusses a farmer's cooperative in North Carolina as a model for developing regions, popular and folk vs. classical music instruction and training, human resources development in employment and training, and the media's responsibility in communication needs for varied audiences. The final section is devoted to a transcript of a recorded magnetic tape of a narrative by a "typical Jamaican boy." (RC)
