The chapters provide an overview of the education system in each country, focusing particularly on contemporary education policies and some of the problems countries in this region face during the processes of development. Key themes include the practice of implementation of educational policy and the impact of global and local educational decisions on societies. Due to the demographic scale and the cultural diversity of India, the volume contains a particularly extensive coverage of the distinctive educational issues in this country. Including a comparative introduction to the issues facing education in the region as a whole, this book is an essential reference for researchers, scholars, international agencies and policy-makers."--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Explores the development of educational provision in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Comoros Islands, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles and Zanzibar"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aEducation around the world series. 606 $aEducation and state$zIslands of the Indian Ocean$vCase studies 606 $aEducation and state$zSouth Asia$vCase studies 606 $aEducation$zIslands of the Indian Ocean$vCase studies 606 $aEducation$zSouth Asia$vCase studies 606 $2Education 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aEducation 676 $a370.954 686 $aEDU000000$aEDU020000$2bisacsh 702 $aDhar$b Debotri 702 $aLetchamanan$b Hema 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798437403321 996 $aEducation in South Asia and the Indian Ocean Islands$93743003 997 $aUNINA
