The competition for the 3^rd and 4^th editions of the Education Research in Africa Award (ERAA) is now open. Launched in 2012, the Award aims to promote high quality education research, produced by African universities, research centers and research networks. There are four award categories: (1) emerging educational researcher, (2) accomplished educational researcher, (3) outstanding mentor of educational researchers, and (4) enabling institutional environment for education research.

A new book series has been launched by Bloomsbury - Bloomsbury Critical Education. The editor, PASCAL Associate Peter Mayo and head of the Department of Arts, Open Communities and Adult Education at the University of Malta, welcomes proposals that shed lights on aspects of critical education, including critical pedagogy, that derive from different parts of the globe or that include aspects that are less known or unknown in the Anglo-American world.
