This book presents a story of school improvement activity in East Africa from 1985 to 2000, which focused on sustained teacher development. The core of the book consists of six evaluations of school-and district-wide school improvement projects (SIPs) supported by the Aga Khan Foundation in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. The case studies present an evolving body of knowledge about the successes and challenges of a comprehensive approach to school improvement grounded in a common set of strategic principles. The strategic principles embody the belief that the chances for quality improvement in teaching and learning are greater when change efforts *are school-based, *involve whole schools as the unit of change, *emphasize the ongoing professional development of teachers, *attend to school management and organizational conditions affecting the capacity of teachers to implement change, * prepare for the institutionalization of organizational structures and processes that enable continuous school development, and *evolve through partnerships among relevant education stakeholders. The book concludes with commentaries by international experts in school improvement and teacher development on the SIP project designs, implementation and outcomes, and on lessons that can be drawn from the projects and their evaluations for school improvement policy, practice and theory in developing and developed countries around the world.

Studies of the retention of literacy and numeracy by adults who have only obtained primary schooling have given little encouragement to the belief that the cognitive effects of schooling are enduring for many school leavers. How these findings can be reconciled with the claims made for the importance of schooling as an instrument of social and economic change is the subject ofinvestigation in this volume. The cognitive outcomes of literacy acqusition and secular schools in coastal Kenya are the focus of this ethnographic study, which stresses the relevance of an international understanding of the particular problems and dilemmas that face the educational systems of individual countries.

The new Government has instituted immediate policy changes in the education sector to jump-start the system. Under the Free Primary Education (FPE) policy started this year, school fees and levies are abolished at primary level, thereby greatly relieving the household burden of financing primary education. Households immediately responded. Including both public and non-public schools, the primary education gross enrollment rate jumped to over 100 percent, with close to 1 million enrollment increase from the previous year. Enrollment in primary schools has reached 7.2 million this year from 6.3 million in 2002. Quality improvement measures have also taken place at this level, with nationwide provision of funding directly to primary schools through a capitation grant of 1,020 Kenyan Shillings per pupil to finance the purchase of textbooks and other teaching and learning materials, as well as to support other school operation activities. The expansion of school enrollment and the improvement of education quality at primary level will continue during the subsequent years. The development at this level has increased pressure on as well as provided opportunities to the other subsectors. A wider sector reform agenda needs to be put in place immediately. The Kenya National Education Conference held in November 2003 provided an opportunity for the discussions of a sector strategic plan with all the stakeholders. A sector-wide program with wider coverage will be developed based on the sector strategic plan. This sector review has emphasized the primary and secondary subsectors, although the postsecondary levels are covered in the discussions of the system coverage, management, and resource allocation. This is mainly owing to the fact that a labor market study is planned to be conducted jointly by the Bank and the Government. The information from that study will be crucial to the analysis of the external efficiency of the sector, particularly with close linkages with postsecondary level education and training.
