Advancing Global Education: Forecasting the Next 50 Years (Patterns of Potential Human Progress Volume 2)

Dickson, J.R., Hughes, B.B., Irfan, M.T. (2010). Advancing global education: Forecasting the next 50 years (Patterns of potential human progress volume 2). Routledge.

Advancing Global Education is the second volume in the PPHP series. The questions it addresses are:

  • How rapidly are education enrollments and adult attainment levels advancing around the world?
  • Which countries will realize the goal of universal primary education by 2015 and, for those that miss, when might they reach it?
  • How rapidly can countries realistically expect to reach the next big goal of universal lower secondary education?
  • What are the financial costs of accelerating progress in enrollment and attainment, and do expected benefits ultimately exceed those costs?
