Education Work

Resolution 14: As education must be above all an education for self-reliance, parents must be assisted in participating actively in the review of their children's work and the maintenance of school facilities by the establishment of a National Education Week, during which parents visit schools to see children and teachers at work and help to repair classrooms and furniture.

Resolution 15: That an area where women are traditionally the cultivators of the soil, it is the women who must be the recepients of agricultural training programmes.

Resolution 16: Adult education and literacy programmes, priority items, should be conducted according to the themes and guidelines enumerated above. Special emphasis must be placed on educating men toward non-sexist attitudes.
