This Handbook considers the myths and untruths that currently exist
in international development and education. Using historic and
contemporary evidence, this compendium redefines the international
development narrative through a new understanding of 'what works',
drawn from pragmatic ideas and approaches.Collaborative efforts
from esteemed academics and practitioners outline the current plans
to improve systems and offer better outcomes for the poor. The
resultant sections offer a new direction for policy renewal and
research development in education. These twenty-eight chapters are
therefore a reflection of how modern developing economies operate
within a diverse economic, cultural and ethical landscape. They
represent an important argument in light of the quest to achieve
'quality education for all'; discuss poverty reduction strategies;
and offer innovative vistas for future development in research,
policy and practice. Offering real policy initiatives, this
Handbook provides researchers, practitioners and policymakers with
essential up-to-date information, including empirical evidence for
replication or implementation. It is also a valuable resource for
students and those involved in international development and
education. Contributors: J. Alwindi, T. Andrabi, M. Aslam, G.
