Growth of Educational Participation

This book in the education series has been designed to serve as a manual, which looks into the changing perspectives of education over the centuries, and delves deep into the involvement of the people in the educational process. The effort is to delineate the growth and development of education, particularly in the developing nations, in the 20th century, and make incisive critiques on the educational process. The book also explores the role of education and literacy in today\'s society, taking into account current trends, practices and other global developments. The stress laid on mass participation in education takes care of incorporating statistics too, which provides a quick glance over the issue, as well as public and private initiated educational programmes and policies, which have been critically dealt with.
