The three articles comprising this Forum bring together reflections from practitioners working on aspects of education marginalization – the International Non-Government Organizations Save the Children and Handicap International – and a global reflection on issues confronting the Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report in its focus on education inequalities, contributed by Kevin Watkins, its outgoing director at the time of writing.

On the distinction between the role exogenous circumstance over which people have no control and effort, luck and talent in determining outcomes see Crespo and Ferreira (Citation2009), where the authors attempt to quantity the weight of circumstance for several countries in Latin America; see also Ferreira and Gignoux (Citation2008). 4.

The remainder of this article draws on evidence set out in the 2010 GMR (UNESCO Citation2010). 7. Both the 2010 and 2011 GMRs look at inequalities associated with learning outcomes. For example, the 2010 report draws on data from the 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Studies to highlight the extreme learning disparities in the United States. Similarly, the 2011 report provides a detailed assessment of disparities in developing countries drawing on national learning assessments, school test results and regional learning assessments
