Summary:

Scholars of education, development, and related disciplines explore the problem of school dropouts in Africa in contexts of policy, curriculum, and coping strategies; globalization, tradition, and conflict; educational exclusion and gender; and intervention programs. Among their topics are the challenge of relevant and accessible education provision for herd boys in Losotho, the influence of initiation culture on early school leaving among girls in the coastal regions of Tanzania, a social challenge to girls' education in Uganda's rural primary schools, and lessons from Malawi on developing and implementing non-formal education programs for early school leavers.
