Education in Sierra Leone: Present Challenges, Future Opportunities (Africa Human Development Series)

Aimed at policymakers and practitioners, this book uses the latest census and survey data to reveal the abiding costs of education to individual households. It goes on to suggest a sustainable, longterm strategy for the education system in Sierra Leone that emphasizes the needs of the poor, as well as the elimination of disparities across regions, between urban and rural areas, and between boys and girls.
