There is a growing recognition that the learning crisis constitutes a significant dimension of global inequality and also that educational outcomes in developing countries are shaped by political as well as socio-economic and other factors. \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Education in Developing Countries\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on how politics shapes the capacity and commitment of elites to tackle the learning crisis in six developing countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe problem of education quality is serious across the Global South. \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Education in Developing Countries: From Schooling to Learning\u003c\/em\u003e deploys a new conceptual framework-the domains of power approach-to show how the type of political settlement shapes the level of elite commitment and state capacity to improving learning outcomes. The domain of education is prone to being highly politicized, as it offers an important source of both rents and legitimacy to political elites, and can be central to paradigmatic elite ideas around nation-building and modernity. Of particular importance is the relative strength of coalitions pushing for access as against those focused on issues of higher quality education. This book concludes with a discussion of entry points and strategies for thinking and working politically in relation to education quality reforms and critical commentaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Hickey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019883568X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198835684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Univ PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Sam Hickey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086386311423,"sku":"9780198835684","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c975e89-e80c-4d61-b311-4f3c523682fe.jpg?v=1769094380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-of-education-in-developing-sam-hickey-9780198835684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
