Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The volume addresses vital concerns and conflicts that need urgent attention in advancing India's quest for universalizing elementary education. The dialogue among experts, researchers and practitioners offers theoretical perspectives, identifies systemic constraints and points to institutional rigidities that hamper the spread of good quality basic education.
The volume undertakes in-depth analyses, helps understand issues based on the insights of scholars and practitioners, and identifies areas of action for ensuring social cohesion and relevance. It also addresses specific concerns, especially of girls and the socially marginalized groups. The papers draw attention to faulty assumptions, persistent disparities and inadequate commitment to inclusive education, resulting in the neglect of a) pre-school, out- b) of-school, c) over-age, and d)
working children.
Detailed case studies draw attention to systemic deficiencies in school management and administration of the education system.
The volume is both timely and relevant as it brings together leading scholars to assess government policies, and their achievements and failures in terms of access, equality and quality.
