Ensuring All Children Learn: Lessons from the South on What Works in Equity and Inclusion brings together a rich tapestry of cases from three southern continents focusing on issues germane to the access, learning, and retention in basic education in the context of Education for All (EFA). It is a narrative of both the disappointment that the implementation of EFA did not go as envisaged and of policy alternatives and hopes for a brighter future. The focus on Africa, Asia, and Latin America permits the reader to appreciate both the diversity of issues central to EFA and the physical spread of the challenges. The book confirms that whereas southern countries have adopted EFA as an overall policy goal, empirical evidence from the case studies uncovers critical lapses in policies and strategies. Four key issues inform the thematic analysis in the book: the overall experience in implementing EFA, the specific challenges faced, the lessons learned, and prospects for the future. The solutions to these challenges provide avenues for the attainment of basic education for all school-eligible children in tandem with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education.

Linking academic interests with advocacy, Munene brings together three decades of research and efforts to improve educational systems and the quality of life for everyday citizens. The comprehensive social justice and equity work presented here predates many current initiatives and offers a valuable grounding for those looking to impact society in these regions and beyond. Important topics include school-based management and the challenges of scaling up these grassroots efforts. Regardless of the geographic focus of their work or interests, readers will find these cases are well framed and insightful, underscoring the connection between policy and practice, which is often underserved. This book is best for specialized readers looking to deepen their knowledge of and perspectives about EFA—both its origins and its future. Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.

A splendid contribution to movement building for the learning of all children. A successful unity of academic and practitioner voices, and choicest celebration of the champions of learning in the global south.
