Download or read book Adult Literacy Programs in Uganda written by Anthony Okech and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The policy of the World Bank has been to focus on universal primary education, rather than supporting adult literacy programmes. But slow progress in Sub-Saharan Africa has convinced the Bank that adult literacy, especially amongst women, is a key factor in promoting economic and social development. This study of programmes in Uganda shows that adult literacy programmes can be more effective than was previously thought; that government run programmes can be as effective as those run by non-governmental organisations and that there is a large, unsatisfied demand among Ugandan adults for more education.

This book was released on 2001-08-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Literacy Programs and the Politics of Change argues that the meaning and value of literacy is a function of specific local institutions.
