Information about the CREATE Pathways to Access Series

Pathways to Access is a series of Research Monographs which captures analytic insights into educational access. CREATE defines access in terms of (i) secure enrolment and regular attendance (ii) progression through grades at appropriate ages (iii) meaningful learning which has utility (iv) reasonable access to lower secondary grades, especially where these are within the basic education cycle. Thus, access issues encompass enrolment, participation in quality learning, and the achievement of learning outcomes which are valued. Both supply and demand side considerations are central to access which can be sustained across these dimensions. Pathways to Access accepts and invites several different types of contribution.
These include:

• Conceptual analysis that present frameworks for analysis and develop theoretical models of use in understanding access issues.
• Cross national and national reviews of the research literature on particular themes and topics
• Analyses of secondary data sets that illuminate patterns of access and their determinants
• Empirically-based studies that explore access in specific national and local contexts
• Invited contributions by development experts drawing on work undertaken outside CREATE but relevant to CREATE’s main concerns

Pathways to Access is a single series of research monographs covering a wide range of access issues determined by its research partners. Within the series publications are grouped to reflect national and thematic clusters of research outputs. CREATE’s thematic clusters are:

• Changing patterns of access, retention and drop out
• Multiple providers
• Planning, finance and resources
• Policy dialogue and policy analysis
• Vulnerability including health, nutrition, disability and migration
• Educational management, governance and school processes
• Access, social equity and communities
  

All CREATE partners and associates are invited to contribute to the series. Quality assurance of the series is assured through in-house and independent peer-review. Authors are encouraged to develop material published initially in this CREATE series into journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, web based policy briefs and other communication products for wider dissemination.
