Books in the Education, Poverty and International Development series

Drawing on state of the art evidence about implementing education quality in low income countries, this book opens up the black box of the classroom and explores how practices of teaching and learning impact on different groups of learners in the global South.

In developing countries across the world, qualified teachers are a rarity, with thousands of untrained adults taking over the role and millions of children having no access to schooling at all. Teacher Education and the Challenge of Development is co-written by experts working across a wide range of developing country situations.

The book explores existing policy structures and identifies the global pressures on teaching, which are particularly acute in developing economies.
