Non-Formal Education for Development: A Critique.
Pattanayak, D. P.
Indian Journal of Adult Education, v40 n2 p22-26 Feb 1979
States that 99 percent of India's education budget is spent on formal education, which is not relevant to the needs of most Indians whose many languages and socioeconomic conditions require the traditional nonformal methods. Sharply criticizes others' emphasis on "elitist" imposition of uneconomic, one-language, formal educational methods. (MF)
