Research on Education in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East

Education has expanded to serve more of the populace in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East over recent decades. Research in curriculum and instruction in these regions has been rapidly changing. Available reports from these regions, however, often present international perspectives, making it difficult for scholars, practitioners, and students to keep abreast of relevant knowledge.  

Research on Education in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, presents pre-K-16 current and emerging research approaches, educational models, and local relevant knowledge within the focus regions. Topics covered in each volume are determined by considering enduring and present issues and trends, as well as generative themes related to current research and theory.  Currently unavailable, or difficult to gather, materials from a variety of viewpoints and sources are presented in a usable and organized format.  

The series aims to offer professionals at all levels a unique body of knowledge describing, analysing, and discussing research led by local, on-the-ground researchers at a clearly specified site in one of the regions. Its’ evidence-based focus can inform researchers about emerging trends in research, research procedures, and technological assistance. Policy makers in need of information about specific areas in which they make key decisions are assisted. The series supports practitioners and students in becoming aware of emerging research knowledge, policy, and best practice in their clinical fields. Chapters present depth of research on a topic in a specified geographical area within a region then also suggest implications possible across nations within the three regions.
