Introduction: -
The writers (Richard Maclure, Refaat Sabbah, and Daniel Lavan) begins the chapter with
brief introduction and history of Education in connection with International Development.
The writers used many articles and books to collect their data and to support their arguments
and comments on the relationship between Education and Development. They organized text
in a proper way and order to help readers have a better understanding of the long reading text
without any confusion. Their way of writing seems helpful to catch interest for readers as
they provided many analysis and comments in addition to all the relevant material required in
their support.
The main focus and aim of the text are to help readers understand the role of Education in the
modern developing world as education plays an important part in the development of a
country. The writers also focused on how education evolved from various stages and how and
why policymakers and government focused on education as an important issue for its own
development[Jam14]. The author’s purpose here is to help us understand why government
and international agencies considered education as an important perspective of development
