But efforts to universalize the provision of high-quality schooling face major problems. In Educating All Children (which grew out of a multidisciplinary project undertaken by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences), leading experts consider the challenges of achieving universal basic and secondary education globally. The contributors discuss the current state of education and how to measure global educational progress, the history of compulsory education, political and financial obstacles to expanding education, the role of educational assessment and evaluation in developing countries, cost estimates for providing universal education (and why they differ so widely), the potential consequences of expanded global education, and the relationship between education and health.The research suggests that achieving universal primary and secondary education is both urgently needed and feasible. Will the international community commit the necessary economic, human, and political resources? The challenge, say the editors, is "as inspiring and formidable... as any extraterrestrial adventures--and far more likely to enrich and improve life on earth." 606 $aEducational equalization$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEducation$zDeveloping countries$xFinance 610 $aEDUCATION/General 610 $aECONOMICS/General 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aEducation$xFinance. 676 $a379.2/6091724 701 $aCohen$b Joel E$051497 701 $aBloom$b David E$g(David Elliot),$f1955-$0122626 701 $aMalin$b Martin B$01573809 712 02$aAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782640903321 996 $aEducating all children$93849705 997 $aUNINA
