Kampala - New Vision: EXAMPLES of excellent students, excellent teachers, and excellent schools can be found worldwide. The challenge for public education, however, is to create school systems where all children experience success; where all teachers have the capacity for excellence and where the evidence of school-wide effectiveness is not limited to a few exemplary schools. To make this happen, educators, policy makers, researchers, and others with a keen interest in improving the quality of education need to pay attention to what can be learned from past experiences about effective ways to organise and deliver high quality teaching and learning. This is the intention of a newly published book about the Aga Khan Foundation-sponsored school improvement projects in East Africa. The book, entitled Improving Schools Through Teacher Development: Case Studies of the Aga Khan Foundation Projects in East Africa (Swets & Zeitlinger Publishers, 2002) is edited by Dr. Stephen Anderson of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto..
