| Summary: | The strong grass root democracy is one
of the founding stones for success or
failure of any literacy programme. The
fundamental aim behind Continuing
Education Centre (CEC) is to provide
opportunity for the neo-learners to learn
new things to upgrade their literacy
skills acquired under Total Literacy and
Post Literacy Programmes. Basically one
CEC will be setup to cater to the need
of population of 500-2000 with a
voluntary teacher (Prerakas). Grama
Panchyaths (GPs) are assigned to
manage CECs in each village. For every
10-12 CECs, a nodal centre has been
established. This is a summary of paper
findings of a study conducted in
selected districts of Karnataka and bring
to light the experience of GPs in
administering Continuing Education
Centres (CECs). |
