But efforts to universalize the provision of high-quality schooling face major problems. In Educating All Children (which grew out of a multidisciplinary project undertaken by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences), leading experts consider the challenges of achieving universal basic and secondary education globally. The contributors discuss the current state of education and how to measure global educational progress, the history of compulsory education, political and financial obstacles to expanding education, the role of educational assessment and evaluation in developing countries, cost estimates for providing universal education (and why they differ so widely), the potential consequences of expanded global education, and the relationship between education and health.The research suggests that achieving universal primary and secondary education is both urgently needed and feasible. Will the international community commit the necessary economic, human, and political resources? The challenge, say the editors, is "as inspiring and formidable... as any extraterrestrial adventures--and far more likely to enrich and improve life on earth." 001385506 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385506 650_0 $$aEducational equalization$$zDeveloping countries. 001385506 650_0 $$aEducation$$zDeveloping countries$$xFinance. 001385506 653__ $$aEDUCATION/General 001385506 653__ $$aECONOMICS/General 001385506 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385506 7001_ $$aCohen, Joel E. 001385506 7001_ $$aBloom, David E.$$q(David Elliot),$$d1955- 001385506 7001_ $$aMalin, Martin B. 001385506 7102_ $$aAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences. 001385506 852__ $$bebk 001385506 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/2638.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385506 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385506 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385506$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385506 980__ $$aBIB 001385506 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385506 982__ $$aEbook 001385506 983__ $$aOnline
