DPEP - Gender Studies District Report: Karbi Anglong Assam 1994

Abstract

From Introduction: In keeping with the constitutional obligation of providing free and compulsory primary education to all children of the age-group 6-14 years of the country, effort has been made since independence to achieve this goal. Even though substantial progress has been made over the years, the goal still remains elusive. It has now become abundantly dear that the earlier efforts concentrated mainly on universal access in terms of construction of classrooms and appointment of teachers and sadly lacked a holistic approach that this challenging task of UPE necessarily warrants.
