African Perspectives on School Leadership, Management and Governance (Bristol Studies in Comparative and International Education)

Addressing colonial legacies that dislodged Indigenous cultural values, identities, and linguistic connections, this book presents groundbreaking solutions for contemporary African education challenges.

Bringing together contributors across Africa, including researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, this collection develops balanced approaches combining Eurocentric and Afrocentric leadership models. Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union Education Strategy, the book tackles pressing issues including poverty, inequality, and restricted access to quality education.

It is essential reading for those seeking culturally responsive, sustainable solutions to transform African education systems while honouring Indigenous knowledge and values in challenging socio-economic contexts.
