Incumbents in Niger and Republic of Congo are expected to sail to re-election, while Benin’s runoff vote is less certain. Here is a brief look at the contests:BENIN — Benin’s president is stepping down after the maximum of two terms, enhancing the West African country’s democratic credentials. Sunday’s race is between the current prime minister and a prominent businessman who was once accused of trying to poison the outgoing president, an allegation he denies.NIGER — The election in Niger pits the incumbent president against an opposition figure who was jailed from November to March on charges critics say were politically motivated. President Mahamadou Issoufou is campaigning on his credentials in the fight against Islamic militancy. His opponent left the country this past week to seek medical treatment in France for an unspecified ailment.REPUBLIC OF CONGO — President Denis Sassou N’Guesso, 72, who has been in power for more than 30 years is seeking another term after he organized a constitutional referendum that did away with an age limit that would have disqualified him from running again. The run-up to the October referendum was marred by violence, and mobile phone service was blocked in the country, which borders the much larger and well known nation of Congo.SENEGAL — Senegal is voting on a constitutional referendum that proposes 15 reforms that would make sweeping changes. In contrast with many African leaders, Senegal’s President Macky Sall is asking voters to shorten the country’s presidential term from seven years to five. The proposed changes also call for a strengthened National Assembly, better representation for Senegalese abroad, and greater rights for the opposition in national elections.ZANZIBAR — Voters are also casting ballots in Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, though opposition parties there have called for a boycott. Zanzibar’s vote in a re-run of an October ballot, which the main opposition parties say runs counter to Zanzibar’s electoral laws.<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/voters-casting-ballots-5-african-countries-165123421.html" target="_blank">Credit: Associated Press</a>&nbsp;

In many ways, we believe our contributors have something valuable to say on thetopic and our job has simply been to assemble their ideas into what we hope will be seen as a coherent piece. Anyone who has put together such a volume knows it is a tremendous challenge and opportunity. We thank the many countless individuals,colleagues, family and friends who have assisted us in this endeavour to put together the edited collection. We have been lucky to the inter-disciplinary edge and lens to the topic which in a number of ways have helped inform our own thoughts and ideas on the subject. Our contributors are engaged in some exciting work on African education and the perspectives they have shared on science education in African contexts can only help build and strengthen existing scholarship in the area. We would like to thank colleagues at our various institutions and our collective conversations that have informed the presentation of an intellectual vision for the collection. There are many but permit us to mention a few: Mr. Stephen Dennis, Dr. Thomas Tachie Young, Emmanuel Kutorglo, Marlon Simmons, Jagjeet Gill, Dr. Rosina Agyepong and Isaac Darko. We are also grateful to Professor Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, Director of the Centre for School and Community Science and Technology Studies (SACOST), University of Education, Winneba, Ghana for writing the Foreword to this book. We thank George J. Sefa Deis doctoral student, Yumiko Kawano, of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto for the administrative and partial editorialwork to get the volume to the publisher. Working across the Trans-Atlantic has not been easy but the process has been facilitated by the love of learning that Yumiko brought to the work. We also want to thank Sense Publishers for the many ways of taking up the challenge to publish a book on Africa which is governed not strictly by market considerations but by the intellectual justice and rewards that accrue from such undertakings. The editorial staffs at Sense Publishers have been helpful and encouraging throughout the entire process from the initial conception of the idea of the book to its final production. We are deeply indebted to our individual families who have always been the backbone of our academic and professional growth and careers over the years. Finally, we dedicate this book to the young learners of today who are helping to redefine the goals, purpose and objectives of education and the role science education can and does play in African development and human condition.
