Join 
Dr Joanna Härmä
 at Blackwell’s of Edinburgh, as she joins us on
 Wednesday 2
nd
 July
, at 
7pm
, to speak about her second book, 
How the New Education Establishment Betrayed the World’s Poorest Children: Broken Promises, Broken Schools
, published by Bloomsbury Academic in February 2025. The book takes the reader through the author’s journey, both practical and intellectual, spanning two decades. It brings a critical lens to widely-held beliefs in the power of education and the need to deliver this quickly and at scale, outlining all but insurmountable obstacles to realising local, national and global ambitions. Highly contextualised direct experience over 20 years from one part of Uttar Pradesh, India, is blended with historical sources and primary and secondary data from a broad range of African countries. The book considers public, private and blended approaches to education delivery.
Joanna is a writer and researcher who has conducted extensive research on low-fee private schooling targeting lower income communities in India, Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Mozambique. This research was carried out while working on a range of donor and foundation-funded projects and she has also worked in other African and Asian countries on issues other than private schooling. While living and working in Nigeria, she designed and oversaw the only comprehensive census of private schools in Lagos, amongst other research into private schooling in the country, including Kwara State and the federal capital, Abuja. She has also worked on other types of projects in Liberia, Malawi and Bangladesh. Her first book, 
Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries
, was published in 2021 by Bloomsbury Academic.
