Impact of Health on Education Access and Achievement. Policy Brief Number 3
Pridmore, P.
Online Submission
Access to education is recognized as a basic human right and yet projections based on current trends show that more than 50 countries will not achieve universal primary education by 2015. This briefing paper looks at the role of malnutrition and diseases in the failure of countries to meet EFA targets. It is based on the CREATE Pathways to Access Research Monograph, "The Impact of Health on Education Access and Attainment: A Cross-National Review of the Research Evidence" (Pridmore, 2007) [ED508614]. (Contains 3 figures.)
