Description
Meta-analyses of contemporary educational research in the Global South point to thematic concerns that emanated from similar studies conducted in the industrialised North, often by the same or related scholars, using similar research methods. This makes contemporary educational research in the Global South an extension of educational research in the Global North. The unique socioeconomic conditions in the Global South, however, influence educational outcomes differently, necessitating adaptation of methods and strategies to match these conditions.
This publication brings together issues that educational researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in the Global South are currently grappling with, in the hope of widening the global discourse on these and related matters. It is worth noting that whereas the Global South faces the gravest challenges in educating its citizens and is the arena for a wide range of educational experiments, voices of researchers from Africa are almost muted in the global discourse on educational research, policy and practice. Rather than leaving it to the few international experts to speak for them, this publication provided a platform for contemporary scholars and researchers from or in Africa to share their views with the rest of the world.
