Sommario/riassunto

Using the system-wide educational reform implementation model, this book interrogates the ramifications of the Education for All movement on quality, equity, and learning outcomes in six African nations: Kenya,



Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. It opens the possibilities for new approaches to Education for All in the context of constrained resources, unstable political climates, and the agency of local communities.
