In response, poor parents in some low income countries have organized and paid for their children's education themselves. It is true that school fees and other user payments are a heavy burden for some parents to bear. But, given the alternative - children receiving no education at all - such payments can represent a temporary, if less than ideal, solution to the problem.--publisher's description UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=449605 ER -
