About this title

Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive introductory text for those beginning their studies of the complex yet fascinating area of education and international development. It sets out an overview of the main theories, ideologies and issues of education in developing countries, always with an eye to the contextual and practical realities of life in schools and other educational institutions. The book takes a balanced yet critical approach and examines both positive and negative aspects of the many relationships between education and development.

It will be of use to undergraduate, Master's and doctoral students, as well as to staff in higher education who teach on courses concerned with education and development and those who work in international institutions and non-governmental organisations.
