In times of growing economic inequality, improving equity in education becomes more urgent.

Gender and Social Equity in Primary Education
In recent years, India has made impressive strides in increasing literacy rates and in enabling access to education. The country now seems well set to provide universal and good quality basic education. Yet, behind this otherwise rosy picture lie serious concerns relating primarily to gender and equity. /-//-/This volume provides an insightful understanding of the ground realities of primary education programmes, particularly those run by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP). Combining secondary research with field studies conducted in six states, the contributors explore gender and social equity issues in primary education. They conclude that there is a subtle but nevertheless discernible ‘hierarchy of access’ to education, which has resulted in new forms of segregation in primary schools.

Educational Access, Equity, and Development
Universal access to learning through basic education lies at the heart of development. Despite consistent efforts over 25 years, more than 250 million children still fail to complete a full cycle of basic education successfully. The UN Sustainable Development Goals reaffirm commitment to the rights of all children to education. This book presents key concepts for planning basic education through to 2030, drawing attention to different zones of exclusion and inclusion. The author develops an expanded vision of access that includes learning, charts the dynamics of education system development, and identifies clusters of countries with different challenges. This book provides new frameworks for planning for those who wish to make the right to education a global reality.
