Inequality in Education

Part of the book series: CERC Studies in Comparative Education ((CERC,volume 24))

It looks at three large-scale interventions to extend access and improve equity in education: Education for All Fast Track Initiatives, India's National Program for Universal Elementary Education, and China's recent policy to provide free compulsory education. It also reviews the literature on strategies to improve quality of education.
