Much less do they consider that these covertly militaristic activities have anything to do with culture.' So writes Mark Krismanson in this important study of the intertwining activities and careers of those involved in Canada's security agencies and in the state-sanctioned culture industry during the delight of the Cold War. The connections between secret intelligence and culture might appear to be merely coincidental. Both the spies and the arts people worked with words, with symbols and hidden meanings, with ideas. They had regular informal luncheons together in Ottawa. Some members of the intelligence community even found careers in the arts. Less than a decade after defecting, the Russian Igor Gouzenko wrote a pulp fiction Cold War spy novel- for which he received a Governor General's award. And Peter Dwyer, Britain's top security official in North America during World War II, was a playwright who after the war worked in Canada's intelligence community before drafting the founding for the Canada Council and becoming its first director. But Plateaus of Freedom details much more than a casual relationship between security and the arts. As Kristmanson demonstrates, 'the censorship-intelligence-propaganda complex that proliferated in Canada after World War II played a counterpoint between national culture and state security, with the result that freedom, especially intellectual freedom, plateaued on the principle of nationality.' The security and cultural policy measures examined here, from the RCMP investigations at the National Film Board that led to numerous firings, to the harassment of the extraordinary African-American singer and Soviet sympathizer Paul Robeson, 'attest to the fragility and the enduring power of art to effect social change'. 410 0$aCanadian social history series. 606 $aPolitics and culture$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArt and state$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInternal security$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIntelligence service$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aCanada$xCultural policy 607 $aCanada$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1945- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aArt and state$xHistory 615 0$aInternal security$xHistory 615 0$aIntelligence service$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a971.063 700 $aKristmanson$b Mark$f1960-$0886783 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459941403321 996 $aPlateaus of freedom$91980459 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04654oam 22006855 450 001 9910817131903321 005 20220114080222.0 010 $a1-4648-1729-4 024 7 $a10.1596/978-1-4648-1675-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC29005879 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL29005879 035 $a(CKB)20639552000041 035 $a(OCoLC)1292360141 035 $a(The World Bank)211675 035 $a(US-djbf)211675 035 $a(EXLCZ)9920639552000041 100 $a20160311d2021 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Quality of Health and Education Systems Across Africa : $eEvidence from a Decade of Service Delivery Indicators Surveys /$fKathryn Andrews 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cThe World Bank,$d2021. 215 $a1 online resource (166 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Andrews, Kathryn The Quality of Health and Education Systems Across Africa : World Bank Publications,c2021 9781464816758 330 3 $aHave teachers mastered the subject matter they are teaching? Can doctors accurately diagnose and treat critical health conditions? Are schools and health facilities sufficiently stocked with needed equipment and supplies? Are they sufficiently supported and staffed to optimize learning and health care outcomes? For the past decade, the World Bank's Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) surveys have collected nationally representative data in countries across Sub-Saharan Africa to answer these questions. The surveys aim to measure the quality of services where they meet citizens: in schools and health facilities. The Quality of Health and Education Systems Across Africa: Evidence from a Decade of Service Delivery Services Indicators identifies areas of achievement and constraint in service delivery, shedding light on how service delivery may foster or stunt human capital accumulation. SDI surveys show that schools and health clinics across Africa are still falling short in some critical areas.The delivery of primary care services is very heterogenous between and within countries. Many health facilities lack the basic necessities to provide proper care, such as essential medicines, basic diagnostic equipment, and adequate water and sanitation. Moreover, health care providers' ability to diagnose and treat common health conditions correctly is low and distributed unevenly. Health personnel's absence from health facilities remains a concern across the surveyed countries. Learning is low, and, not unlike health care, levels of student learning vary significantly across countries: less than half of grade 4 students can recite a simple sentence or perform basic mathematical operations. This deficient learning is correlated with teachers' low levels of content knowledge and sub-par pedagogy skills. Some schools are also missing crucial inputs, such as blackboards or private and gendered toilets, and struggle with high pupil-teacher ratios. Despite these challenges, success stories in both sectors illustrate the quality of service delivery that could be achieved and showcase the dedication of teachers and medical staff across Africa. By studying data from thousands of facilities, considering the local context, and drawing insights from the literature, this book offers important insights for how countries can strengthen health and education systems and build back better in the wake of the massive disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aAccess To Education 606 $aCoronavirus 606 $aCOVID-19 606 $aEducation Quality 606 $aHealth Care Service Delivery 606 $aHealth Service Delivery 606 $aPandemic Impact 606 $aPandemic Response 606 $aSDI Survey 606 $aService Delivery 615 4$aAccess To Education 615 4$aCoronavirus 615 4$aCOVID-19 615 4$aEducation Quality 615 4$aHealth Care Service Delivery 615 4$aHealth Service Delivery 615 4$aPandemic Impact 615 4$aPandemic Response 615 4$aSDI Survey 615 4$aService Delivery 700 $aAndrews$b Kathryn$01684600 701 $aGatti$b Roberta$0155863 701 $aAvitabile$b Ciro$01684601 701 $aConner$b Ruben$01684602 701 $aYi Chang$b Andres$01684603 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817131903321 996 $aThe Quality of Health and Education Systems Across Africa$94056193 997 $aUNINA
