Getting Textbooks To Every Child In Sub-Saharan Africa: Strategies For Addressing The High Cost And Low Availability Problem (Directions In Development - Human Development)

This publication offers policy options that can help reduce textbook costs and increase their supply. The book explores, in depth, the cost and financial barriers that restrict textbook availability in schools across much of the region, as well as policies successfully adapted in other countries. The book also provides a thorough assessment of the pros and cons of digital teaching and learning materials and cautions against the assumption that they can immediately replace printed textbooks.
