Abstract

In terms of access, the most important issue is the provision of basic education to vast numbers of children who do not receive any education. A few years ago, there were around 103 million children who did not attend school (United Nations 2008: 15). Through determined efforts by many agencies at international and national levels this number has now been reduced to 73 million children in 2006 (United Nations 2008: 15). To provide education to these children, at least 18 million teachers need to be educated and trained (United Nations 2008). © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
