Contemporary Educational Management in East Africa: Tackling Challenges of Inclusion, Leadership, and Digital Integration (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781041153955)

This rigorous and insightful volume provides comprehensive analysis and research findings on educational management challenges in East Africa, homing in on the interrelated areas of inclusion, gender equity, leadership and digital integration in schools and higher education institutions to foster a more equitable and innovative educational environment.

The book explores how local innovations and indigenous knowledge systems can inform cross-regional dialogue and international comparative learning, identifying transferable strategies and cautionary lessons. Chapters take a deep dive into key issues affecting education systems internationally by showcasing case studies from Tanzania, Ethiopia and Rwanda and relating findings from the region to the broader international context, particularly the Global South. Situating the key themes of inclusion, gender equity, leadership and digital integration within the broader socio-economic and cultural context of East Africa, the book seeks to rectify the lack of representation of East African educational solutions in existing literature. By bridging local insights with global debates, the book highlights the potential for context-sensitive, inclusive and sustainable reform grounded in African realities and aspirations.

Equipping readers with the knowledge needed to drive sustainable change in educational management, the book will be of use to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of educational management and administration, education and development, and the sociology of education. Educational administrators, policymakers and school leaders should also benefit from the volume's insights.
