The universal declaration of human rights declared primary education as the basic human right of all people. Accordingly, all nations prioritised universal access to education. Many developed and developing nations have attained universal or near universal access to primary education. Now the focus is on the quality of students’ learning. The concern is valid not only for nations who have attained the quantitative targets, it is also valid for nations still striving for expansion of educational access. It has been established that access and quality are not sequential elements. Quality is rather considered, in the light of growing evidence, a means for achieving the universal access and equity of education regardless of gender, location, race, religion, and social class. This book finds out the multiple factors that determine quality and universal access to primary education. It discusses the various programmes and policies established by governmental and non-governmental bodies for the development of primary education. It is hoped that the present volume will be consulted by academicians and the alike.
