Over three decades ago, international donors declared that there was a learning crisis in developing countries. In the years since, large investments have been made towards education, yet there has been an apparent relative lack of progress in student learning. This book unpicks this disparity, and explores the implications of evidence-based donor programming for quality education. It undertakes an in-depth analysis of the interventions financed by the main donors in primary education, such as infrastructure development, provision of instructional material, teacher training and community mobilization, and argues that the research undertaken during this period was unable to provide answers. The author outlines an alternative model for evidence generation that can assist in the design of relevant and targeted interventions for learning, to ultimately inform and improve future education programmes. Timely and radical, this book is essential reading for researchers and students in the fields of education research and education reform.

"The first of its kind, this book provides a detailed account of teacher expertise and teaching quality in the global South. Offering both detailed theoretical discussion and practical descriptions of expert teacher practices, it is essential reading for academic researchers and students, as well as teachers and teacher educators"--

This book presents eight case studies from seven countries, which highlight the choices and constraints faced when implementing education reform. Written and analysed by people close to the action, it will assist policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders interested in system change.

Written by local specialists, this book covers the impact of globalization on language policy, English language teaching and teacher education in ten Asian jurisdictions. It will be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers interested in English language education, teacher education, language policy and sociolinguistics.

With contributions from renowned global scholars, this book argues that ethical education should be directed at human relationships and help students become caring. This approach goes beyond the usual focus on character, virtues and moral codes. The chapters illustrate how this new vision can transform curriculum, pedagogy and classroom practice.
