ISBN: 1 86192 157 8 Department For International Development DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION PAPERS This is one of a series of Education Papers issued from time
to time by the Education Department of the Department For International
Development. Each paper represents a study or piece of commissioned research on
some aspect of education and training in developing countries. Most of the
studies were undertaken in order to provide informed judgements from which
policy decisions could be drawn, but in each case it has become apparent that
the material produced would be of interest to a wider audience, particularly
those whose work focuses on developing countries. Each paper is numbered serially, and further copies can be
obtained through the DFID's Education Department, 94 Victoria Street, London
SW1E 5JL, subject to availability. A full list appears overleaf. Although these papers are issued by the DFID, the views
expressed in them are entirely those of the authors and do not necessarily
represent the DFID's own policies or views. Any discussion of their content
should therefore be addressed to the authors and not to the DFID. LIST OF OTHER DFID EDUCATION PAPERS AVAILABLE IN THIS
