Dalla quarta di copertina

“This book chronicles one of the more astonishing success stories in education development over the past several decades—the effort by the University of Notre Dame to strengthen Haiti’s extensive Catholic Church education system. Children supported under this program showed consistently improving learning outcomes despite a succession of almost unprecedented crises. At a time when many have questioned the value of investing in the world’s least developed countries, this book should be considered must reading.”
—Bob Prouty, Former Head, Global Partnership for Education, USA 

“Boothby and Schuenke-Lucien’s book makes a rare and vital contribution. While many have extensively studied fragile states through the lenses of conflict and governance, very few works trace the long arc of educational innovation under such conditions. Readers will find much to be hopeful for when systems and institutions put the needs of the children they serve at the center.”
—Brian Hayes, Regional Director, Porticus North America, USA
