The Politics of Education in Developing Countries

---

This 2019 Oxford University Press volume investigates why many developing countries have improved school access without corresponding gains in learning outcomes—a phenomenon now termed the “learning crisis.” Applying a comparative framework across six countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda), the book argues that political factors—including elite commitment, political settlement type, and power dynamics—strongly shape education quality . Utilizing the “domains of power” approach, the authors show that access-focused coalitions often outcompete those pushing for quality, with education frequently politicized for legitimacy or patronage .
