| Summary |
Almost any economist will agree that education plays a key role in determining a country's economic growth and standard of living, but what we know about education policy in developing countries is remarkably incomplete and scattered over decades and across publications. This book rights this wrong, taking stock of twenty years of research to assess what we actually know - and what we still need to learn - about effective education policy in the places that need it the most |
