Unit 16: Promoting Need based Educational Programmes

• Condensed course centres should be started in these backward areas to open up avenues to Notes
adult unqualified women for employment as teachers.
• A large number of quarters for women teachers should be provided, particularly in rural areas.

Education will be used as an agent of basic change in the status of woman. In order to neutralise

The National Education system will play a positive, interventionist role in the empowerment of
women.

growing up. It is therefore better they learn about sexual relationships from their parents rather
