b>ENCOUNTERING EXCLUSION : Primary Education Policy Watch
Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir and Jakir Hossain
The current volume Encountering Exclusion reviews the National Education Policy (NEP), National Plan of Action (NPA) and Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP) and other policy instruments, plans and programmes in order to provide domestic discourse on fair share in, and equal access to primary education, that the poor and marginalised children are able to enroll in and complete quality primary education. The volume offers a point of reference for citizens'. engagement processes on policy design, implementation and outcome in order to identify homegrown policy alternatives and to build support for emerging policy options.
