From the Back Cover

“With only a few years left towards achieving the education targets of the Sustainable Development Goal 4, this timely book makes us stop and think: why exactly does equity lag behind access, efficiency, and completion gains?”

―Gita Steiner-Khamsi, W. H. Kilpatrick Professor of Comparative Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, USA, and  Honorary UNESCO Chair in Comparative Education Policy at the Geneva Graduate Institute, Switzerland
