Education Reform and the Learning Crisis in Developing Countries
Over three decades ago, international donors declared that there was a learning crisis in developing countries.In the years since, large investments have been made towards education, yet there has been an apparent relative lack of progress in student learning.This book unpicks this disparity, and explores the implications of evidence-based donor programming for quality education.It undertakes an in-depth analysis of the interventions financed by the main donors in primary education, such as infrastructure development, provision of instructional material, teacher training and community mobilization, and argues that the research undertaken during this period was unable to provide answers.The author outlines an alternative model for evidence generation that can assist in the design of relevant and targeted interventions for learning, to ultimately inform and improve future education programmes.Timely and radical, this book is essential reading for researchers and students in the fields of education research and education reform.

Taxing Africa : Coercion, Reform and Development
Taxation has been seen as the domain of charisma-free accountants, lawyers and number crunchers – an unlikely place to encounter big societal questions about democracy, equity or good governance.Yet it is exactly these issues that pervade conversations about taxation among policymakers, tax collectors, civil society activists, journalists and foreign aid donors in Africa today.Tax has become viewed as central to African development. Written by leading international experts, Taxing Africa offers a cutting-edge analysis on all aspects of the continent’s tax regime, displaying the crucial role such arrangements have on attempts to create social justice and push economic advancement.From tax evasion by multinational corporations and African elites to how ordinary people navigate complex webs of ‘informal’ local taxation, the book examines the potential for reform, and how space might be created for enabling locally-led strategies.

Do we need an education reform?

A comprehensive education reform is necessary to ensure that our education system meets the needs of students and prepares them for success in the 21st century.

'Reform or Revolution?'
The question of reform or revolution is a complex one that depends on the specific circumstances of a society. In some cases, gradual reform may be the most effective way to address social and political issues, as it can lead to sustainable change without causing widespread disruption. However, in situations where the existing system is deeply entrenched and resistant to change, revolution may be necessary to bring about significant and rapid transformation. Ultimately, the choice between reform and revolution depends on a careful assessment of the existing power structures and the potential for meaningful change within the existing system.

Building Pathways to Peace : State–Society Relations and Security Sector Reform
SSR is a key element of the transitions out of war, aiming at the establishment of accountable and legitimate institutions able to prevent and sanction the use of violence.While recognizing the need to include local actors, donor policies still focus mostly on the state as a provider of security.Second generation SSR has emphasized the need to include local communities and recognize the existence of non-state actors in the provision of security and justice.However, recognition is not enough. This Element promotes a radical re-think of SSR in the context of conflict and war.Guiding question for the considerations is how can security sector reform be set up and implemented to contribute to constructive and inclusive state-society relations, and build the path to long-lasting peace?This Element argues that a focus on functional equivalents, minorities, gender, and human rights is key for the design, implementation, and success of SSR.

How would you reform the school education system if you could?
If I could reform the school education system, I would focus on personalized learning to cater to individual student needs and strengths. I would also prioritize teaching practical life skills such as financial literacy, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Additionally, I would advocate for smaller class sizes to allow for more one-on-one interaction between students and teachers. Finally, I would emphasize the importance of mental health and well-being by incorporating mindfulness practices and mental health education into the curriculum.

What was Solon's currency reform?
Solon's currency reform in ancient Athens involved replacing the existing system of heavy metal coinage with a new system based on a lighter unit of currency called the drachma. This made trade and commerce more accessible to a wider range of people, as the new currency was easier to carry and use in everyday transactions. Additionally, Solon's reform aimed to stabilize the economy by establishing fixed exchange rates between different denominations of coins, which helped to reduce inflation and ensure the value of the currency.
