In seeking to deeply understand and address this leadership conundrum, it is imperative that African scholars tell their own African 'stories' by way of generating cutting-edge literature in that regard, particularly empirical evidence. This handbook is a one-stop platform on which readers including under- and postgraduate students of education, novice and seasoned researchers in the field of educational leadership and management, education policy makers and non-governmental organisations have an opportunity to consume empirical evidence by African scholars on aspects of school leadership in Africa. Students of comparative education will also find this collection very useful.
