Educational Research

Educational research is one of the most important means of empowering people with the knowledge, skills and self confidence necessary to participate fully in the development process. It is the cornerstone of empowerment and social development because it enables people to respond to the opportunities to challenge their traditional roles and to change their lives.

The present book has been designed to facilitate both the students as researchers at the university level and teachers as practitioners at the school level. It attempts to document the research outputs on school education and to examine how could these be best utilised as an instrument for empowering people.
