Keehn, the publication presents the reports of four regional representatives for Asia, Africa, Latin America, and North America focusing on the following organizational goals: (1) developing and expanding the World Education program of integrating family life planning with functional literacy education,(2) encouraging innovation in adult education, (3) broadening the base of funding, and (4) strengthening the organization's place in the international community. The report also includes excerpts from an evaluation report on the organization's program and philosophy, a report on publications, an auditor's report, and a list of coordinating agencies.

To help meet these universal EDUCATION POSITION OR POLICY and pressing needs, a number of educational agencies are moving toward a common understanding and course of action. 11111111Rimr We are agreed that the focus and thrust of our activities must be educa- tion for development. No other concept is vital enough or effective enough to achieve the improvement in quality of life that is the rightful expectation of people everywhere. What is World Education's special role in this critical process? We have already assisted a number of agencies whose programs, we believe, are now demonstrating that integrated basic education for adults can be an effective I tool for development. The progress and problems of these programs are detailed in the report that follows. In the years immediately ahead, World Education will focus on a careful assessment of the impact of these programs on the lives of the learners who are taking part in them. I believe that in sharing these experiences and findings with others World Education will make an important contribution to the knowledge base of this crucial and growing international field.I believe, further, that in linking our efforts with others we can chart a course toward more effective action.° Thomas B.

The Board of Trus- Irish tees studied this report and approved it at the annual meeting in May of 14 Publications that year. This Annual Report is a review of the extent to which we have been successful in acting upon the four resolutions passed at that meeting: 16 To Encourage Innovation in Aden Education to develop and expand our program 16 Methods and Materials, by to encourage innovation in adult education Lyra Srinivasan to broaden our base of funding 18 Evaluation to strengthen our place in the international community. 19 To Sfrengthen Our Place in the International Within the framework of those four goals, we have drawn upon both subjective and objective sources for this report. In their own words, our four regional representatives assess tasks already undertaken and present 21 To To Broaden Our Base of Funding their personal views of the directions we are taking. 24 Auditor's Report An extensive evaluation of every aspect of our program and philosophy, conducted by a team of four outside experts, resulted in an Evaluation 29 Staff Report which affords an unbiased view of our activities.

One characteristic that dennes and delimits litorld Education s activities in population tami4 planning is its use of educa- tional concepts and methods These may he differentiated from those concepts and methods that emphasize, for example, clinicai, lC i af, Inercitc, instructive. or the one -way information approaches designed to encourage and assist the adoption of 1,1111/11 planning practice,.. ttorid Education s strategies are based on the knowledge that there are large numbers of peopleperhaps the maionty or adults in clot eloping countries--tyho. for a variety of cultural, political, economic,, and other reasons, cannot r will nut respond either positi,ely or permanently o anything but an educational approach to population family planning etiortsThus, education is requircd in addition to the' tariety of other approaches.

These two ideas hate led World Education to expand the concept of functional literacy to include any kinds of symbols (such as pictures, physiological models,, calendars, loops, condoms, pills, and written desroptions of their functions and use) useful to abstract thinking and problem-solving.

FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Raj Niwas K. A. A. Raja Itanagar-791 111 Lieutenant Governor, Arunachal Pradesh October 5, i m Vili I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my deep sense of gratitude to Shri K; A.

    TEG PAST EVENTS 2012-2018 THREADS OF A NEW TRADITION Date: Friday 20 April 2018 Speaker: Percy Vatsaloo Venue: Isan Gallery, 42 Jalan Kembagan Percy Vatsaloo, textile designer and founder of Isan Gallery, started visiting the Isan region of NE Thailand in 1987. He soon discovered handwoven textiles and other local crafts that were rapidly dying out. By the mid-90’s, Percy realized that the antique Laotian textiles that he loved so much were becoming both scarce and terribly expensive. He decided to create textiles with his own designs and set up a small weaving team in the village of Ban Borang. Inspired by traditional weaving techniques such as ikat, brocade and tapestry weaves, he designs wearable art fashioned entirely in silk. The Weaving Village is a socially-responsible project that gives women in the countryside a fair income without leaving their village. Percy will also give a brief introduction to antique Laotian and Cambodian textiles and share how they have influenced The Weaving Project. Some pieces from Percy’s private collection will be on display. SHARED PASSION Date: Friday 23 March 2018 Host: Janet Stride TEG members always look forward to Shared Passion month. This annual show-and-tell event is a wonderful opportunity to share and learn from fellow members. Bring one of your favourite textiles to share with the group -- a piece that is either something you wear or keep as a collector's item. It would be helpful if you know the weaving technique and provenance of your selected piece but if even if you don't, you may have the opportunity to draw upon the knowledge of other members.
