Literacy in Indonesia.

Lowenberg, Peter H.

Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v4 p124-40 1983

Examines sociolinguistic and historical context in which a dramatic increase in literacy (from 5 percent literacy in 1945 to 75 percent literacy in 1980) occurred in Indonesia, focusing on use of Bahasa Indonesian, the national language, and current efforts to extend literacy through nonformal education programs and to expand reading and writing skills in the school system.
