The interplay among leadership, language, and curriculum in improving education quality
Abstract
Despite ongoing efforts by governments and substantial investments by donors to enhance the quality of education in Sub-Saharan Africa, tangible improvements remain elusive. Recent studies suggest that the quality of education in some countries has reached a crisis point. This issue of Bahir Dar Journal of Education presents a collection of nine original articles that explore key factors influencing education quality. The articles focus on three primary aspects: the role of educational leaders, the quality and effective implementation of curricula, and the use of English as a foreign language. The current issue also examines the impact of social media use and psychological capital on students’ academic performance. The articles span all educational levels—primary, secondary, and higher education—and offer relevant, practical recommendations directed at stakeholders across the education system. Collectively, these contributions aim to inform policy and practice to foster meaningful improvements in the educational landscape.
