This paper reviews a select body of literature that focuses on the role of teachers, schools, and communities at the local level in developing quality education programmes in less-developed countries. Three recent trends form the basis of the literature review: quality versus quantity issues; decentralising education; and recognising the key role of teachers in promoting the quality of student learning.
