Abstract	Presented in this work are case studies drawn from developing countries, principally Madagascar and Niger. They are examples of radical alternatives designed to serve a population not served by conventional schools and to convey instruction quite different from what is usually given in schools. In brief, the programs are more production-oriented than the so-called work-oriented literacy programs and are aimed at reaching thousands of people. Four vital principles are embodied in this approach to education: 1) use of low-level manpower with concomitantly simplified and scheduled calendars of instruction; 2) emphasis upon specific skills and knowledge applicable to the lives of the learners; 3) a concern to build confidence through success and have learners apply their new skills and assume additional responsibility; and 4) to treat education as one of a complex of inputs designed to improve specific conditions.
