Assessing community based education in Upper Egyptfailure and success

I wish to thank Professor Ibrahim El Nur, my thesis supervisor for his support and understanding. I would also like to thank my dear colleagues Yousra Hamroush, Hatem Zayed, Mona Soliman, and Michael Fam who took some of their time to read and comment on my drafts and to Mona Kotb and Elham Zakaria for their support in the field visits to Talt and Hoore villages. Finally, I am very grateful to my friend and mentor Bassem Hassan for his sincere support and advice.
