Around the world, 617 million children and adolescents are not reaching the most minimum level of proficiency in reading or mathematics. This situation, what has come to be called the Global Learning Crisis, is generally understood to be a result of an overemphasis on access to education, that over the past couple decades, governments, bilateral donors, NGOs and other members of the development community have all focused on getting children into school, overlooking or even undermining the work of getting children to learn. The field of international education is now defined by efforts to shift focus from access to education to the quality of education. This dissertation cautions against this call to action. Issues of access are far from being solved, and access and quality should each be recognized as complex, dynamic, and interdependent. To better understand the Global Learning Crisis, this dissertation conducts a case study of Uganda's Universal Primary Education. It analyzes three separate but interrelated issues within a sample of Ugandan primary schools: grade repetition, private primary schools, and school fees, viewing each issue as an illustration of the connection between access and quality. Though at times there can be a tradeoff between efforts to improve access and efforts to improve quality, the dissertation finds that there are also dynamics where access and quality can be mutually reinforcing. Working to create and support an alliance between access and quality can be one way in which to address the Global Learning Crisis, a strategy that recognizes the complexity of education and the challenges facing education systems.
