Publisher's Synopsis
This study focuses on the problem of universalizing primary schooling in the developing world. In examining why this has not yet been achieved, the authors show that the educational and financial policies pursued by governments have critical importance, rather more than the overall resources available to them. The authors investigate how schooling for all could be achieved, drawing lessons from successful country cases, and modelling the cost and resource implications of educational expansion, under difficult policy conditions, for each country separately.
