New Delhi ; London : Sage, 2004. 381 p. ; 23 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. "This volume provides an insightful understanding of the ground realities of primary education programmes, particularly those run by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP). Combining secondary research with field studies conducted in six states, the contributors explore gender and social equity issues in primary education. They conclude that there is a subtle but nevertheless discernible 'hierarchy of access' to education, which has resulted in new forms of segregation in primary schools." "The findings indicate that a child's gender, caste, class and community tend to define the nature of the school he or she attends which, in turn, has implications for the processes of teaching and learning. The field studies also explore the perceptions of parents, teachers, children and the community regarding primary schooling and the impact of the DPEP. The volume additionally elaborates on the institutional mechanisms and strategies required to improve schooling and reduce inequalities, as also assesses the efficacy of various non-formal and alternative education initiatives." "Capturing the texture and nuances of primary education through qualitative investigations, this volume is unique in drawing attention to the new segregation in basic education. It will be widely welcomed by educationists and sociologists and will be equally useful to policymakers, administrators, teachers and NGOs engaged in education."--BOOK JACKET.
