Community Participation and Empowerment in Primary Education
Search in google:
Decentralization of primary education management followed on the heels of India's National Policy on Education 1986, which began to devolve decision-making down to community level individuals and institutions. Govinda and Diwan (both associated with the School and Non-Formal Education Unit, National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration, India) present 10 articles that explore the results of such programs in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Karanataka, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Kerala. In addition to separate examinations of the experiences of each particular state, the text includes comparative studies and considerations of the national model.
