Question

UNSEEN PASSAGE

The bulk of our population is poor and illiterate.
Their sorry condition poses a problem. On the one
hand there is a shortage of teachers for Adult
Education and on the other, the adults feel shy of
starting to learn at a late age and attend classes.
Moreover, the adult villagers have little time to spare
for attending classes as the job of a farmer is very
strenuous. In addition, he finds that what is taught at
adult centres of education has no bearing on his
daily needs, therefore he has become cynical about
adult education,
It is necessary to make it more meaningful for farmers
in the villages. In towns and cities also, emphasis
should be laid at increasing literacy rate and
encourage adult education. Though it can be made
useful and work based to arise their interest. It should
comprise types of system in which earning and
learning go together. Efforts to enhance adult
education will ultimately discourage tendency to
migrate to towns for better earning.
