DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe came to the task of editing this book from different disciplines and back grounds but with a mutuality of interest in exploring the concept of literacy campaigns in historical and comparative perspective. One of us is a professor of comparative education who has participated in and written about literacy campaigns in Third World countries, notably Nicaragua; the other is a com parative social historian who has written on literacy campaigns in Western his tory. Both of us believed that literacy could only be understood in particular As Harvey Graff has noted, "to consider any of the ways in historical contexts. which literacy intersects 'with social, political, economic, cultural, or psychological life ... requires excursions into other records.") Thus, we have set out in this edited collection to explore some five hundred years of literacy campaigns in vastly different societies: Reformation Germany, early modern Sweden and Scotland, the nineteenth-century United States, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia and the Soviet Union, pre Revolutionary and Revolutionary China, and a variety of Third World countries in the post-World War II period (Tanzania, Cuba, Nicaragua, and India). In addition, we have included studies of the UNESCO-sponsored Experimental World Literacy Program and recent adult literacy efforts in three industrialized Western countries (the United Kingdom, France, and the United States).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDoes substantial expansion of educational facilities by itself create the required demand for education? Since demand for education depends on many socio-economic, political, and religious factors, is the supply of free schooling alone adequate? Schooling for All demonstrates that there is still a substantial need to create demand for schooling among all levels of society, especially in those socio-economic groups which are yet to see the importance of education. The volume critically analyses the primary drawbacks of the Indian education system-non-enrolment, dropouts, irregular attendance, and inadequate learning. It establishes the need to strongly encourage parents to recognize the importance of education for their children's future. Arguing that supply-side strategies-free education, midday meals, opening more schools-have not proved effective since the problem of inadequate demand is much larger, the authors delineate the measures that are required to boost the demand for education in India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the early 1990s hundreds of thousands of Tamil villagers in southern India have participated in literacy lessons, science demonstrations, and other events designed to transform them into active citizens with access to state power. These efforts to spread enlightenment among the oppressed are part of a movement known as the Arivoli Iyakkam (the Enlightenment Movement), considered to be among the most successful mass literacy movements in recent history. In The Light of Knowledge, Francis Cody’s ethnography of the Arivoli Iyakkam highlights the paradoxes inherent in such movements that seek to emancipate people through literacy when literacy is a power-laden social practice in its own right. The Light of Knowledge is set primarily in the rural district of Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, and it is about activism among laboring women from marginalized castes who have been particularly active as learners and volunteers in the movement. In their endeavors to remake the Tamil countryside through literacy activism, workers in the movement found that their own understanding of the politics of writing and Enlightenment was often transformed as they encountered vastly different notions of language and imaginations of social order. Indeed, while activists of the movement successfully mobilized large numbers of rural women, they did so through logics that often pushed against the very Enlightenment rationality they hoped to foster. Offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at an increasingly important area of social and political activism, The Light of Knowledge brings tools of linguistic anthropology to engage with critical social theories of the postcolonial state.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Total Literacy Campaign (TLC), Launched in 1988, was different from other literacy programmes in that it moved decision-making out of Delhi to the districts, making the district magistrate/ collector the lynchpin of the programme. It broadened the campaign focus to include 'environment building' that involved entire populations, used innovative methods like kalajathas (cultural caravans), and appointed umbrella organization of NGOs to coordinate disparate literacy efforts across the country. The TLC has been by far the most effective strategy to deal with the problem of India's endemic illiteracy. The book provides representative snapshots of the working of the TLC, besides an analysis of the adult literacy situation in India and connected issues. Part I brings together case studies of the TLC in six districts of Ajmer, Dumka, Ernakulam, Ganjam, Nellore and Pudukkottai in the states of Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Kerela, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu respectively. Part II discusses the results of these studies to give a comprehensive overview of the programme. Assessments of the TLC have swung between 'highly optimistic' and totally 'sceptical'. The optimists see it as a peoples movement that liberated many. The sceptics are convinced that no meaningful change can be brought about without social transformation and structural change. This book makes the point that any assessment of the TLC must take into account the programmes overall strategy, and the underlying assumptions that informed it. The studies in the volume underscore the serious problem of sustaining the gains from the literacy campaigns in the prevailing socio-economic environment of inequalities and disparities, how the absence of an environment that prompts one to read and write results in relapse to illiteracy, and how primers in unfamiliar languages describing alien situations creates retention problems for the learners. The case studies show that the TLC is not a magic wand, and that for the programme to sustain itself, regional contexts and differences must be factored into the strategy. This book represents a fresh look at the TLC, taken from the perspective of independent researchers trying to understand and evaluate not just outcomes, but also the processes and dynamics that impacted upon the programme. It combines first-hand field information with analysis and projections for the future. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, policy-makers and activists, besides the general well-informed reader.
