Abstract
This book presented as research-based, validated by experience, and broadly applicable, these policies are ideologically driven, insensitive to local contexts, and treat education as independent of international dynamics and national and local economies and cultures. Target countries, needing resources and unable to generate comparable research, find it difficult to challenge World Bank recommendations. The book represents a powerful challenge to World Bank proposals. Probing core issues, equity, quality, finance, privatization, teaching and learning, gender, and human rights, highlights the disabilities of neoliberal globalization. ;;
