Expanded visions of access have to capture:
•Sustained attendance
• On-schedule progression at appropriate ages
•Meaningful learning and appropriate attainment levels
•Reasonable access to subsequent levels of education
•More rather than less equity with more distributional and more
differentiated indicators of progress at different levels of analysis
•Supply and demand issues
•Relationships to development strategies

A Supply Side Constraint?
Some Key Messages
Age of entry and in grade – slippage, exclusion, gendered exclusion
Drop out/drop in – transition across thresholds, locus of responsibility
Silent exclusion – learning levels and capabilities
Invisible exclusion – migration, disability, stigmatisation
Multigrade and small schools – size matters
Financing/managing growth at secondary – efficiency and effectiveness
Private and other non state providers - limits to growth
Growth and inequality – differentiation, privatisation, exclusion
Improving targeting – GERs, NERs, completion rates et al
System dynamics – balanced and sustainable growth in participation
Political economy and aid– Art of the Possible, Science of the Probable?
