Education for All�Not Yet

In a perfect world, all children will receive an education in safe, effective surroundings. However, our world falls short of perfect. Ron Fridell?s Education for All: Floating Schools, Cave Classrooms, and Backpacking Teachers in his ?In a Perfect World? series gives us the bad news of where and how education falls short of perfect. But then Fridell tells us the good news: There are people and organizations dedicating their efforts to bring education to millions of children in out-of-the-way places, poor cities, war-torn countries, and places where discrimination determines who is and who is not educated. Color photos and a ?How You Can Help? section give further information that raises the reader?s awareness of one of our world?s important problems.
