Abstract:	The T(echnical) C(ooperation) T(raining) P(rogramme), Funded by the Overseas Development Administration and administered by the British Council, supplies approximately 1/5 of the total foreign student body in the UK in the mid 1980s and sees the recipents as contributors to the economic and social development of their home countries. The paper first locates the TCTP in the context of the developing countries themselves, then discusses the external context of overseas training, and finally explores some aspects of the unavoidable interaction between aid and non-aid clements in overseas training.
