Item Network as an Instrument for Sterngthening Adult Education Movement(Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 1987-07) Tandon, RajeshThe last decade has been a significant one in modern human history in many ways. A large number of socio-economic and political problems facing humanity have surfaced dramatically: hunger, famine, illiteracy, war, apartheid, ecological degradation, exploitation of women, etc. The response of the World Community to these problems can be categorized in two broad streams. The first, more widespread and resource-packed response has been from the governments of the South and North, and inter-governmental institutions. This response has been largely inadequate in solving any of the above problems, despite backed by massive resources and large delivery mechanisms comprising of administrative frameworks and organizations,. The second response, more humble and sparse, less resourceful and visible, sporadic, interttent, has come from what has broadly come to be called the Non-govern-mental sector and teachers; individuals, groups, small organizations. These are students church and temple inspired philanthropists: grass-roots educators in villages and barrios; voluntary organizations, research and training institutions, individual activists, trade unionists, professionals (lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.) a whole range of ordinary people in our countries.Item ASPBAE and Its Structure: Some Thoughts(1987-12-01) Tandon, RajeshThe thrust of the decisions taken last year was to decentralise both programming and management (including financial) activities within each of the four sub-regions of ASPBAE. Decisions were also taken to send to each sub-region directly funds on the basis of proposed programmes for the year. I am sure that other members who have directly handled the responsibility of programming and management at the sub-region level may be in a better position to indicate their experiences during the year. But my sense is that this attempt at decentralisation may perhaps lead to substantial and systematic separation and segregation of sub-regions from each other and weaken the purposes and identity of ASPBAE as a whole.
