Population Education in Literacy Programmes: 2. A Collection of Curriculum Materials.

Overview & Synopsis

Comprising this manual are lessons, exercises and curriculum materials which show how literacy programs can reach illiterate youth and adults with population education messages. Each sample lesson includes information regarding its content, objectives, methodology, and user level. A primary objective of the materials is to encourage instructors to explore population education contexts other than family planning so that the integration of population concepts into literacy programs will be more systematic and comprehensive. Topics presented include contraceptive methods, city life, and the relationship of family size to such parameters as income, food, education, health, and land. The manual is one of a series of three sets of population materials gathered from curricula developed and workshops held in Asia and Oceania. (Author/WB)
