Produced by Lewin (international education, U. of Sussex) for the World Bank, this book is a World Bank working paper that explores how access to secondary education can be increased for children in Sub- Saharan Africa. Noting that radical reforms are required in low- enrollment countries, the author states that secondary education must become more affordable and more accessible for the population that is currently excluded. The conclusion offers a series of suggestions to increase the probability that more of Africa's school-age children will be able to get a secondary education. A CD-ROM is included.
