2009, 2010 Success in Schools Series
	For a variety of reasons, each year millions of children --in economically developed countries as well as in developing nations-- fall off the education track. The Success in Schools series is an advocacy strategy to highlight new ways education policymakers and planners might re-think critical roles, responsibilities, and approaches that will make a difference to these children, their families and their communities. Each book in the series looks at a critical stage in the child's school career from entry into first grade through graduation from secondary education and identifies Principles for Success that operate at each of these stages. These general Principles of Success are illustrated by photographs, anecdotes from the field, an graphs provided by the EPDC. Together these images bring the Principles of Success to life. Link to the Success in First Grade, Success in Primary School webpages. Download the first book Success in First Grade and the second book Success in Primary School.
