About the Author: Upali M. Sedere is a Sri Lankan. This is his 3rd book on educational reforms. His book on “Globalization and Reforming Education: Crisis of Vision” was listed as a prescribed book in several universities in USA, Europe, Australia and Japan. His innovative and critical thinking of the education systems with his wide national and international exposure in education development makes his books different from the usual academic books.
All book reviewers stated that Sedere brings pro-poor education to the frontline to address, and Paulo Freire would have been happy to see Dr. Sedere’s writing. In 1987 leaving the 20 year academic career he joined the FAO of the United Nations as Expert on Training and Evaluation. He institutionalized the Agricultural Training and Evaluation system in the 31 BLPPs in Indonesia and the Training Manual he produced on “Performance Evaluation” is translated to over 15 languages. In 1991 he joined the World Bank as Project Monitor of the then world’s largest education sector project in Bangladesh.
