| Abstract: | For more than twenty years the World Bank has been lending for educational projects in developing countries. Out of that experience come this book, which brings together the results of research and development both within and outside the Bank, inclunding much material not widely available until now. The authors, Georges Psacharopoulos and Maureen Woodhall, examine theoretical and pratical issues that face policymakers, planners, and administrators in developing countries as they choose among strategies for investment in education. Among the topics discussed are the contribution of education to economic and human development, cost-benefit analysis, the demand for educated manpower, finance, the efficiency and quality of education, equity considerations, and the links between investment in education and in other sectors. |
