It would expand the rural education system and the teacher training facilities for instructors in rural education. The project would also provide training for three cate- gories of workers presently in short supply in Upper Volta: project managers, building construction foremen and road and equipment maintenance personnel. Project supported improvements are expected to benefit the education of all those in the rural education system, approximately 22,000 at the beginning of the project. The rural education component would provide capital investments to increase Rural Youth Training Center (CFJAs) enrollments by about 7,000 and to estab- lish Rural Youth Groups (GJAs) for some 15,000 rural youths. There is a risk that the project will not attract wide grassroot support as Rural Youth Training has not yet attained the status of the formal system. This risk should diminish over the life of the project as instruction in the Rural Youth Training Centers improves, the Rural Youth Groups demonstrate their income eatrning potential, and career opportunities in agricultural extension are created.
