Khochen-Bagshaw, Maha – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2020
Developments within education systems in many countries have been moving toward inclusion. Inclusion, however, is a contested term, understood differently by different individuals.

Shaeffer, Sheldon – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
Since the Millennium Development Goals and Education for All targets were proclaimed in 2000, countries have made considerable progress in enhancing the well-being of young children.

Gagnon, Amélie; Legault, Elise – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
Ensuring that every child gets a teacher is a prerequisite to reaching the Education for All goals. Today, 58 million children are still not in school, and while a variety of factors constrain efforts to provide quality primary education for all children, ensuring that classrooms have enough teachers is at the top of the list. Since 2006, the…

Young people in Africa encounter many difficulties in entering the labour market and in searching for decent and productive jobs.

Kim, HyeJin; Moses, Kurt D.; Jang, Bosun; Wils, Annababette – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2011
After one of the longest wars in the history of Africa, Southern Sudan accomplished one of the world's quickest education reconstruction programmes. Once the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed in 2005, the international donor community and the government and people of Southern Sudan united under a common goal: to increase access to…

Mugimu, Christopher B.; Nabadda, Rosemary – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2009
Despite significant global efforts to mitigate HIV and AIDS, the epidemic continues to be a serious problem to the human race. It has claimed many productive individuals, including teachers, administrators, and parents, and has left millions of traumatized and orphaned children. Unfortunately, few teachers are prepared to take on the extra tasks…

Bonnet, Gabrielle – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008
It is easier to collect data on teachers' qualifications, experience, or training than to get a precise idea of their command of subject matter or their classroom behaviour. However, research consistently shows that "class effect" (the impact on a student of being in one class rather than another) on pupil performance is relatively high,…

Sherman, Joel D. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008
Education for All has focused international attention on the goals of universal primary education and improved education quality. However, national indicators related to these goals often mask significant differences among demographic and social groups, as well as among geographical regions within countries. This paper, based on a study…

Baker, David P.; Collins, John M.; Leon, Juan – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008
Numerous epidemiological studies from the early years of the tragic HIV and AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa identified formal education as a risk factor increasing the chance of infection. Instead of playing its usual role as a preventative factor, as has been noted in many other public health cases, until the mid-1990s educated African men…

This text is a guide to the reading and interpretation of the "good practices" that are developing in the countries participating in this project and elsewhere.

De Grauwe, Anton; Lugaz, Candy – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2007
Decentralization occupies a prominent place on the policy agenda at international level and, within many countries, at national level. It regularly forms part of an overall package of reform of the public service, which has been summarized under the concept of "new public management" (Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2000). This package also…
