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.
