This title explores the place of education in development debates
and provides a systematic as well as a theoretical overview of the
main approaches to education and development. It emphasises the
fact that education is profoundly shaped by national and local
cultures even if many issues are shared across institutions in
different locations. Education and Development discusses different
theoretical accounts from different disciplinary traditions to help
students understand the complexity of the overall debate. The text
does not shy away from discussions of education's negative impacts,
and insists that an account of education must include consideration
of early childhood development, adult, vocational and higher
education, as well as the growing range of informal and distance
forms. It includes chapters on human capital, human rights and
human development, and on education, gender and development, and
draws on examples from a wide range of countries and regions such
as India, Hong Kong, Kenya and South Africa. The book has a
well-developed pedagogy including text boxes, chapter summaries,
key questions, links to websites and videos, and annotated further
reading sections. Particular attention is paid to ensuring that a
plurality of voices, contexts and educational sub-sectors are
represented in the boxes, weblinks and references. Education and
Development provides an introductory overview to the field, aimed
at the undergraduate level, while critically engaging with key
themes and questions. The book will also be of interest to
development practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs and
corporate employees engaged in aspects of education and development
work.
