Summary/Abstract: Rural development remains a major challenge for different governments across the majority world. The reason for this has been attributed to different fac-tors. 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 per-formed 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 com-munities. 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.
