Primary School Teacher Deployment: A Comparative Study - Tapa blanda

'a must read for African educational scholars, administrators and all stakeholders in African educational enterprise.' The African Symposium: An Online Journal of the African Educational Research Network, Volume 9, No.1 'a valuable examination of the inequalities present in the school systems of four Commonwealth countries and will prove interesting to anyone interested in educational policy, social inequality and professional development. It is easy to engage with, strongly underpinned statistically, and insightful as to its recommendations.' ESCalate, http://escalate.ac.uk/5200 'The book is admirable, particularly in the way in which it renders rather complex statistical data in an accessible and comprehensible form, which makes the book 'user-friendly', even for those who may not be involved with schooling or the EFA. It is concisely written and very informative. A definite 'must read' for those immersed in the field of education and EFA and MDGs.' Perspectives in Education, Volume 28(1), March 2010

Ensuring Education for All at the primary school level is not just a matter of recruiting enough teachers: they must be deployed effectively across the education system. This work presents four detailed studies, from countries with low net educational enrolment levels: Nigeria, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea and Pakistan.
