The African Symposium: An Online Journal of the African Educational Research Network, Volume 9, No.1 'a valuable examination of the inequalities present in the school systems of four Commonwealth countries and will prove interesting to anyone interested in educational policy, social inequality and professional development. It is easy to engage with, strongly underpinned statistically, and insightful as to its recommendations.' - ESCalate (Read the full review: http://escalate.ac.uk/5200). ESCalate 'The book is admirable, particularly in the way in which it renders rather complex statistical data in an accessible and comprehensible form, which makes the book 'user-friendly', even for those who may not be involved with schooling or the EFA. It is concisely written and very informative. A definite 'must read' for those immersed in the field of education and EFA and MDGs.' - Perspectives in Education, Volume 28(1), March 2010.
