ABOUT THE BOOK: The formal or institutional education has a colonial origin in most parts of North East India, in the sense that the educational institutions started in this region during the British colonial rule. In the two valleys of Assam-the Brahmaputra and the Barak, and in the plains of Tripura and Manipur, the tols and moktabs or similar traditional insitutions imparted learning to a very small section of the population in pre-colonial period. Elementary education is the building block of the nation. In a country like India, a mass elementary education policy ensuring universal education for all is the need of the hour. But elementary education remains a major worry for the country. The central government in its part is, however, trying to decentralise the primary education ensuring the involvement of many grass root level agencies including – Panchayati Raj institutions, School Management Committees, Village and Urban Slum Level Education Committees, Parents’ Teachers’ Associations, Mother Teacher Associations, Tribal Autonomous Councils etc. The book will be useful for teachers, researchers, students, policy makers and development agencies.
