Why Educational Reforms Fail: A Comparative Analysis.
Psacharopoulos, George
International Review of Education, v35 n2 p179-95 1989
Reviews and assesses numerous educational policy statements of East African countries. Policy outcomes do not match expectations, mainly because of insufficient or no implementation. The reason for failure: vaguely stated policies and incompletely analyzed financing implications. Pleads for more concrete, feasible policies based on documented cause-effect relationships. Includes 39 references. (MLH)
