Education and Development: A return to basic principles

Author

  • Stephen P Heyneman

Abstract

As a political strategy, Education-for-All has been a failure. Originally designed to attract education investments over other priorities, the portion of donor resources devoted to education has been stagnant. The strategy has made a fetish out of primary education at the expense of education sector development; generated a donor monopoly over client interests and exaggerated the role of the state in education provision. Stephen P. Heyneman explains why it is crucial now to return to basic principles.
