Excellent- More about Education Reform and the Learning Crisis in Developing Countries

Over three decades ago, international donors proclaimed that developing countries faced a significant learning crisis. Since then, substantial investments have been made in education, yet there has been a discernible lack of progress in student learning outcomes. This book aims to unravel this disparity and examine the implications of evidence-based donor programming for quality education. It conducts a comprehensive analysis of the interventions funded by major donors in primary education, including infrastructure development, instructional material provision, teacher training, and community mobilization. The author argues that the research conducted during this period failed to provide conclusive answers to the challenges facing the education sector.
In response, the author presents an alternative model for evidence generation that can guide the design of relevant and targeted interventions for learning. This model emphasizes the importance of integrating multiple sources of evidence, such as classroom observations, student assessments, and community feedback, to inform education policy and practice. The book also highlights the need for a more holistic approach to education reform, which encompasses not only the provision of resources but also the transformation of teaching and learning practices to enhance student outcomes.
Timely and radical, this book is a must-read for researchers and students in the fields of education research and education reform. It offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and community members who are committed to improving the quality of education and promoting equitable learning opportunities for all.
