Description: "Despite their inherent commonalities, there can be no "one size fits all" model for achieving the Millennium Development Goals and for the provision of Education for All. As a result, a diverse range of innovative programmes has been developed to help meet these global targets. This Guidebook showcases successful education initiatives from around the Commonwealth, in a concise and easy-to-use format. It provides policy-makers with examples of best practice and effective solutions that will assist them in devising strategies to counter their own educational challenges. It is also a useful resource for all regional and district education offices, schools, colleges, teacher training institutes, research institutions, multilateral and non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders with an interest in education good practices and improving educational outcomes. Part I contains background and current education priorities of 31 countries selected from around the Commonwealth. Part II reports on more than 60 education initiatives, with activity-specific, detailed information about: themes and key issues addressed target beneficiaries goals, objectives, outputs and outcomes implementation, challenges and advice contact details for further information" -- Provided by publisher.
