| Abstract: | This publication contains six presentations from a seminar that stressed that the problem of adult education should be viewed from the angle of human resource development and all necessary interdepartmental linkages should be developed. The keynote address, "Major Challenges and Prospects of Adult Education for the Year 2000" (T. M. Sakya), is followed by a list of seminar conclusions and recommendations. The six presentations are "Adult Education for the Year 2000: Challenges and Prospects" (S. C. Dutta); "Adult Education for the Year 2000: Challenges and Prospects" (Sunthorn Sunanchai); "Role of Adult Education for Promoting Civic Rights and Responsibilities" (Satyen Maitra); "Role of Mass Media in Adult and Civic Education: Some Observations" (J. S. Yadava); "Electronic Media for Adult Education" (B. B. Mohanty); and "Role of Mass Media for Adult Education in India: A Status Paper" (S. K. Tuteja). Seven group reports focus on these themes: adult education as a strategy for civic education, civic education for women, civil rights and responsibilities of people in the Asian and Pacific Region, obstacles to exercising civic rights and responsibilities, and problems in creating social awareness among the poor and disadvantaged. Country reports discuss the rights and responsibilities of citizens provided for in the constitutions of these countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and the Philippines. Appended material includes the seminar programme and lists of participants, guest speakers, and committee members. (YLB) |
