Description: This book is the story of a search for lessons about how to improve schools; a search that has stretched from the grasslands of Africa to the streets of New York, capturing lessons about school reform from more than 40 countries on every continent. It argues that massive improvement in schools is possible, that a small number of key changes would ensure that the next generation is better prepared for the future than any generation that has preceded it, and that, for the first time in human history, we know how to do it.
