Reseña del editor

Educational investment is now back at the top of the development agenda. The World Conference on Education For All, jointly sponsored by UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDP and the World Bank, confirmed the commitment of national governments and donors to provide opportunities for all children to enrol in school and reach minimum levels of achievement. This book takes a new look at the problems that confront politicians, planners, curriculum developers and teachers in implementing educational innovations in developing countries. The eight case studies of educational change are based on doctoral research in Nigeria, the Sudan, Lesotho, Malaysia, China and the Seychelles, and analyzes four types of innovation - curriculum development, teacher education, institutional change and system-wide reform. An international team of contributors based at Sussex University has drawn together detailed case studies based on extensive field research examining the activities of those who plan and implement change - the changemakers. The insights into theory and practice that emerge provide the intellectural yeast for the development of effective innovation stategies for the next decade. Keith M. Lewin is also the author of "Education in Austerity: Options for Planners" and "Doing Educational Research in Developing Countries: Qualitative Strategies" (co-authored with G. Vulliamy and D. Stephens). Janet S. Stuart has also written "The Unequal Third".
