 es the book Getting Schools to Work Better: Educational Accountability and
  Teacher Support in India and China by Yifei Yan.\nGetting schools to work
  better is a challenge just about everywhere. Many policy experts prescrib
 e measures for strengthening school accountability either by government co
 mmand and control or through alternative market and societal actors. In ch
 allenging this conventional wisdom\, Yifei Yan's book examines how China a
 nd India are tackling the challenge of getting schools to work better\, wi
 th a specific focus on supporting teachers\, along with traditional accoun
 tability-strengthening measures. The book draws implications from its case
  studies for how education systems can be designed to enhance student lear
 ning towards the fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goal 4. \nThis boo
 k will appeal to a wide spectrum of scholars and practitioners in the fiel
 ds of comparative education\, public administration\, public policy\, and
