"The focus of this edited volume is on immigration?s effect on schooling and the consequential aspect of illegal immigration?s effect. To understand immigration (legal and undocumented) and K-16 education in Asia, Europe, and the US is to situate both within the broader context of globalization. This volume presents a timely and poignant analysis of the historical, legal, and demographic issues related to immigration with implications for education and its interdisciplinary processes. Arguments based on theories of globalization, socialization, naturalization, and xenophobia are provided as a conceptual foundation to assess such issues as access to and use of public services, e.g., public education, health, etc. Additional discussions center around the social, political, and economic forces that shape the social/cultural identities. Summary discussion concludes the volume as well as projections with respect to links between immigration and key national security and international policy issues. This volume intends to serve as an ambitious guide to approaching the issues of immigration and education more globally."

"The central message of this book can be summarized in one sentence: It is still important to create adequate demand for education, especially from certain sections of society, along with improvements in the supply or provision of schooling, if we want to address the known problems in this regard in India. This is evident from the fact that certain socio-economic factors act as significant determinants of not only-non-enrolment, dropouts, irregular attendance-but also inadequate learning in Indian schools. It is also noted that mere growth in income or expansion of economic opportunities need not encourage all sections of parents to use schooling for their children. Hence, demand-side interventions (which may include social interventions beyond the provision of monetary incentives) continue to be important in Indian context. Conventional demand-side interventions like midday meal seem to be ineffective in the current context when unskilled wage rates have increased and a meal at school may not be a serious attraction to send kids to school. Though the Right to Education (RTE) Act can be interpreted as a demand-side intervention since denying education to a child is reckoned as an unconstitutional act there, it may also be not that effective in ensuring quality schooling for all. It does not have an enforcement machinery to see that all children attend school on a regular basis. The book also examines different social interventions attempted in different parts of the world which enabled the creation generation of demand for schooling and draws a few practical lessons."
