Read the passage below and answer the questions (46-50), that follow based on your understanding of the passage: 

According to the view of the committee for Review of NPE 1986, almost half of the children in the age group of 6-14 either do not enter the school at all or drop-out at an early stage, since they find school either boring, irrelevant, or threatening. Almost another 40 to 45% of them have to stay away from school due to strong economic compulsions and the demands of home and family life. By non-formalising the school system, the rigidities of the formal school system may be removed, even when the quality of education in the school has thus improved, segments of child population may still remain outside the school system on account of economic compulsions or their special social situations. To cater their requirements non-formal education will have to be in operation.The Non-formal Education (NFE) Programme, as an alternative and supportive system for formal education, was developed and introduced in 1979 – 80as a centrally assisted scheme in ten educationally backward States. Its main goal is to bring the unenrolled and drop-out children of age group 6 – 14 into the fold of primary education in order to achieve theuniversalization of elementary education. Even though this programme is being implemented throughout India the demand remains unfulfilled.
