Education Strategy in the Developing World ─ Revising the World Bank's Education Policy

Volume sixteen in an ongoing series on education topics from international perspectives, this collection of nineteen articles on educational policy in the developing world examines the limitations of the World Bank's current strategic education policy and explores ways in which improvements and modification could be made to international efforts in the promotion of education in regions that need it the most. Essays are divided into sections covering strategy developments, critical regional and local issues, and regional evaluations, and individual entries discuss topics such as World Bank Education Sector Strategy 2020 and popular participation, the ideological premises of World Bank strategies, and technical education for African youth in the knowledge economy. Contributors are academics in education and international policy from primarily American universities. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
