The third of three related monographs resulting from a Unesco regional literacy workshop in Asia, this booklet provides information useful to those designing national programs in literacy training for underdeveloped and developing nations. The booklet is divided into four parts. The first part discusses the monitoring of literacy programs, including the purpose of monitoring and what should be monitored and by whom. The second section presents schematic diagrams of various monitoring structures, while the third section discusses the monitoring process as it applies to the components of the literacy program, such as financial input, class size, program expansion, and performance. The fourth section deals with the collection of monitoring data, including instruments and their classification, the quality of data, learner progress, supervisor's quarterly return, and the national data register. The appendixes contain the forms for various instructor reports, quarterly returns from successive administrative levels, and an annual report. (HTH)
