The book describes the current context facing education practitioners, offers an account of the historical context in which these policies emerged, and draws on qualitative interviews in rural and urban settings to examine the constraints facing school-level education leaders. … It would appeal to a scholar interested in the study of education leadership in post-conflict settings.” (Timothy P.
