Why have many developing countries that have succeeded in expanding
access to education made such limited progress on improving
learning outcomes? There is a growing recognition that the learning
crisis constitutes a significant dimension of global inequality and
also that educational outcomes in developing countries are shaped
by political as well as socio-economic and other factors. The
Politics of Education in Developing Countries focuses on how
politics shapes the capacity and commitment of elites to tackle the
learning crisis in six developing countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia,
Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda. The problem of education
quality is serious across the Global South. The Politics of
Education in Developing Countries: From Schooling to Learning
deploys a new conceptual framework-the domains of power approach-to
show how the type of political settlement shapes the level of elite
commitment and state capacity to improving learning outcomes. The
domain of education is prone to being highly politicized, as it
offers an important source of both rents and legitimacy to
political elites, and can be central to paradigmatic elite ideas
around nation-building and modernity. Of particular importance is
the relative strength of coalitions pushing for access as against
those focused on issues of higher quality education. This book
concludes with a discussion of entry points and strategies for
thinking and working politically in relation to education quality
reforms and critical commentaries.
