Third World Education : Quality and Equality PDF
by Anthony R. Welch
Edited by Edward R. Beauchamp
Part of the Reference Books In International Education series
Description
This book debunks the argument that quality in education can only be achieved by limiting, or trading off, equality.
The quality of schooling is a major issue for Third World nations across the globe.
However there is no single measure which is universally accepted.
Whether it is, as some economists might argue, an issue of the number of desks per classroom or one of national sovereignty is widely disputed.
Defining equality in education becomes increasingly difficult in an era of globalization in which there exists a wide gap between rich and poor, both within and between nations.
In the context of an international move towards New Right politics and neo-liberal economic ideologies, both the quality and equality of education are imperiled.
This book argues that any worthy definition of quality education must include the interests and participation of the underprivileged.
