Drawing on the international research in numerous countries, including Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, the USA and the Caribbean, the contributors consider, conceptually and empirically, the impact of this epidemic on schooling and teachers. They explore the complexity of this disease's relationship with education, and how given different social, cultural, political, economic and other contexts, it can have different impacts. Coverage ranges from looking at the global, international ramifications, to local perspectives drawing on informal community-based interventions. Each chapter contains a summary of the key points and issues within each chapter to enable easy navigation, key contemporary questions to encourage active engagement with the material and an annotated list of suggested further reading to support further exploration. A companion website supports the text and provides updates and additional resources.
