Analysis of views about critical issues such as inclusion and the pressure of achievement targets in classrooms that often contain more than 50 students, informs their observations about the reform programme itself. The study paints a more qualified picture of success than suggested elsewhere and makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of education reforms in India, and most especially, in Delhi. 2022-10-19T11:18:18Z 2022-10-19T11:18:18Z 2022 book 9781800081406 9781800081390 9781800081413 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58944 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International 9781800081383.pdf https://bibliocloudimages.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/389/supportingresources/307337/jpg_rgb_original.jpg UCL Press 10.14324/111.9781800081383 10.14324/111.9781800081383 df73bf94-b818-494c-a8dd-6775b0573bc2 9781800081406 9781800081390 9781800081413 211 London open access
