Answer 1

Explanation:

the history of adult education, the concept of adult education has con­stantly changed and developed under various nomenclatures. The key concept used up to 1947 was ‘basic education’ which was based on tradi­tional approach and focused on the programme of night schools.

Between 1949 and 1966, the concept used was ‘civic literacy’ which was based on life-oriented approach and focused on social education. Be­tween 1967 and 1977, ‘functional literacy’ concept based on work-oriented approach came to be emphasized in adult education which focused on functional literacy programme, farmer’s education and Shramik Vidyapiths. From 1978 onwards, ‘developmental literacy’ con­cept based on social change approach came to be used more which focused on total literacy campaigns.

The basic literacy concept evolved with the expansion of night schools which received grants-in-aid from 1929. The course in this scheme was spread over a period of two years and included simple les­sons in 3 R’s, stories of historical importance, and elementary lessons in health, hygiene and first-aid. The instruction was imparted for 2-3 hours in the evening. During 1938-39, a series of Provincial Mass Literacy Campaigns were organized by different provincial governments. It was estimated that during 1938-42, about 1.38 crore persons became literate.
