 alization\, and Improving the Quality of Education in Low-income Countries

 education actors are addressing LBOP in their respective countries\, and i
 n particular how to move from planning to the implementation of policies t
 hat address the specific needs of disadvantaged children.\nREGISTER HERE\n
