Zusatztext The chapters are well researched, well argued and skillfully deploy theoretical frameworks to aid in the analyses of empirical content. I am confident that the book will become an essential reading on school leadership preparation and development in Africa for students, academics, scholars and researchers. It will draw readers on account of its scholarly merit, its engaging and accessible style, and will not only boost the literature in this field but also stir lively debate.
