Primary and Elementary Education

Jagannath Mohanty (Editor)

Synopsis Primary and elementary education is the major concern of all nations since it is the foundation of the entire superstructure of education and is directly related with success of democracy. Its universalisation has been taken as an international challenge, a national commitment and an important concern of the states over the last five decades. Universalisation of elementary education being a constitutional directive has still remained unrealised and removal of mass illiteracy being a "national stigma" as pointed out by Mahatma Gandhi, has still eluded the grasp inspite of a large number of projects, schemes, experiments, drives and campaigns. A plethora of reports furnished by various committees and commissions have been implemented half-heartedly without expected results. Although the problems are still serious they have to be tackled as early as possible with a strong political will and a determined national commitment. This important book on the major issue of "Primary and Elementary Education" presented in 69 chapters under five parts, will be of great use to planners, teachers, supervisors and students of education.
