| Samenvatting: | This report explores the impact of BRAC's Non-Fonnal Primary Education Programme (NFPE} on raising health knowledge of the rural Bangladeshi children.
Three groups of children viz. NFPE graduates, formal school learners and children
who never went to school were assessed an instrument containing six health
knowledge items. A sample of 720 children, equally distributed by study groups
and sex, were selected randomly. Data were collected from five areas where a
surveillance system was in operation. This study reveals that NFPE graduates are
more likely to have higher level of health knowledge than the children of other two
groups. The impact of NFPE is due to its extra emphasis to enhance positive
influence of education on lives of the rural population.
