Despite great progress around the world in getting more kids into schools, too many leave without even the most basic skills. The problem is that schooling is not the same as learning. Lant Pritchett argues that the solution is to allow functional systems to evolve locally out of an environment pressured for success. Such an ecosystem needs to be open to variety and experimentation, locally operated, and flexibly financed.
