This book argues that learning and human development are the keys to international development, and advances our understanding of how to improve learning for all—especially for those who have been most marginalized.
Focusing on Moroccan children whose parents are unschooled, and whose language differs from that used in the classroom, this text addresses the importance of 'mother-tongue' literacy programs, the notion of literacy 'relapse', and the concept of educational poverty.
Learning as Development examines how people learn around the world and considers what international development would look like if viewed through the prism of human development.
