| Abstract | "Why do so many well-intentioned efforts to improve education in developing countries fall short? This book critically examines the repeated failures of decentralizing education systems and promoting community participation as solutions to learning crises. Despite decades of donor-driven initiatives, millions of children remain out of school, and even those who attend often struggle to learn. Why? Because while these policies are well-meaning, they frequently miss the mark. Drawing on compelling research from Pakistan, India, Nigeria, and Indonesia, the book reveals how international aid programs-designed based on what works in Western contexts-routinely misjudge local realities. At the same time, national governments implement costly, donor-approved reforms to gain international credibility, while real, on-the-ground issues remain unaddressed"-- Provided by publisher. |
