Inequality is a marked and persistent feature of education systems, both in the developed and the developing worlds. Major gaps in opportunity and in outcomes have become more critical than in the past, thanks to the knowledge economy and globalization. The pursuit of equity as a goal of public policy is examined in this book through a series of national case-studies. The book covers many different global contexts from the wealthiest to some of the poorest nations on earth. It therefore offers a broad range of different theoretical and methodological approaches, and brings together extensive international experience in equity policy.

Steve had never written a book before and never thought he would. After unexpectedly enduring a prostate cancer experience and the subsequent outcome, he felt inspired to put pen to paper. His inspiration was fueled in the hope that the book raises awareness and ultimately makes a difference for other men and their families who have, or are, facing a prostate cancer journey. Hopefully, it sends an important message in relation to the diagnosis and shows them that there are also amazing alternatives in treatment available to them. He is a firm believer that things happen for a reason. If he hadn’t contracted prostate cancer his book would not be a reality today. After a lot of soul searching he chose not to follow the conventional/mainstream path of treatment, ‘the norm’. He has his wife Karen to thank for that. Steve’s book is very different to ‘the normal cancer books on the shelf’ in as much as it is a unique marriage of the human story, a cutting-edge scientific, nutritional approach to diagnosis and treatment and a reference book at the same time.
