This volume explores how educational leadership and administration (ELA) is constructed in the Middle East and North African region (MENA), and charts the development of ELA as a discipline.Against the backdrop of rapid growth and interest in the educational restructuring, educational reforms, policy and leadership landscape of the region, chapters investigate issues concerned with the production and utilization of knowledge in the field, and analyse the future of ELA in relation to the educational policies and practices in MENA countries. Featuring a broad range of geographically dispersed specialist contributors involved in leadership, policy, and administration, the volume ultimately sheds light on this little-researched area of study to demystify common tropes and misunderstandings surrounding ELA in the MENA region.This book will be of use to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students involved with international and comparative education, higher education management, and education policy and politics more broadly.

This timely, international volume presents case studies on the current landscape of educational policy and reform across the diverse and dynamic Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It reflects a broad spectrum of political, socio-economic, cultural, and governance contexts, shedding light on both shared trends and region-specific divergences. MENA region contributors provide insights on how educational leaders and administrators address sociopolitical challenges while upholding a commitment to principles of social justice, equity, and political inclusion. The chapters explore the influence of recent political upheavals on local educational leadership and governance, presenting lessons learned in relation to geographic and culturally specific policymaking, reform strategies, and systemic transformation. This book also examines how political and socio-economic conditions affect educational reforms at national and subnational levels, recognizing how school leaders, parents, communities, and policymakers collectively shape innovation and meaningful change initiatives. This book will be of particular interest to academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of educational leadership, administration, policy, and reform. It will also serve as a valuable resource for policymakers and education professionals engaged in leading and managing change in complex educational environments.
