As large numbers of children attend schools started and managed by their own communities and\/or by nongovernmental organizations, questions have come up about the impact of such schools at large scale: \"Can village-based or community schools have a national impact on access to education, spur improved long-term development strategies and education policy, or achieve or influence Education for All? This book explores these and related questions, drawing on Save the Children’s experience with community-based schooling in four countries: Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, and Uganda. \u003cbr\u003eThe literature on community schools in Africa tends to be sparse, repetitive and highly descriptive with little or no sustained critique of practice. This book fills a substantial gap in the education literature and is particularly timely, given the current emphasis on decentralization and community involvement in education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-05-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387451060\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-45107-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47385332482188,"sku":"9780387451060","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387451060.jpg?v=1775752464","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387451060","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
