- Summary:
- Social justice and equity are by themselves a strong argument for providing basic education for all. It is an established fact that basic education improves the level of human well-being especially with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality, nutritional status of children, as well as significantly contributing to economic growth. This book presents current research in the study of the problems and achievements of urban and rural schools world-wide.
