The most compelling policy issue in terms of formal verses non-formal education is that of cost effectiveness. On one hand are those ,such as the World Bank ,who argue that priority should go to formal education .In this way ,in a generation or two ,illiteracy will be wiped out .On the other hand are those who say that putting a focus on formal education when there is a high percentage of adult illiteracy creates enormous familial and social dysfunction ,reduces parental support for education in general and parental ability to support the educational process in particular, and causes long-term economic problems by educating children for work and roles which do not exist. A strong focus on formal education assumes that such education will be successful. Evidence to date suggests that this is a mistaken assumption.
