- This ground-breaking long-form output reports on the collection and analysis of a large body of research material on education in three conflict affected states in sub-Saharan Africa. It demonstrates sustained research effort, and is based on primary sources of complex empirical data. The authors advocate a different approach and that low-cost private schools should be welcomed by policymakers as a means of providing high-quality educational opportunities for all. The book reveals the inspiring story of entrepreneurs providing low-cost private schooling to large numbers of children in areas where government was not working well and basic infrastructure had been destroyed.
