As part of the "World's children" series, for which Save the Children is acting as consultant, this books looks at education in both developed and developing countries. The work explains the importance of education to both children and adults and notes that education is not confined to learning in a classroom, but is also the development of self-awareness and a consciousness of the world. It discusses different aspects of learning throughout the world and outlines the problems encountered such as poverty, inadequate funding or disability. The text is complemented by colour and black and white photographs, a glossary, a further reading list and an index together with teachers' notes and a section of useful addresses.
