"The importance of primary and secondary education as fundamental drivers of empowerment, achievement and inclusion, is widely acknowledged.

A single data point from the US provides compelling proof: the gap between the earnings of high school and college graduates doubled between 1980 and 2000 (Kazis, in this volume).
