Strategies of Non-Formal Education

A large number of children dropout of school due to various reasons. The most crucial reason being economic. Parents withhold children from going to school and put them in work. They constitute a large chunk of labour force. It has been declared illegal by various government in India and abroad. Even then parents are not ready to lose money by sending children to schools. It is for this section of society that educationists as well as the educational planners and administrators want to provide education through non-formal means. This book deals with all these topics in a very comprehensive manner. The editor gratefully acknowledges the use of American and British studies in this area upon which great reliance has been placed.
