You are welcome to the maiden issue of the African Journal of Teacher Education, a Publication of SPREAD Corporation (Canada)

In this first outing by AJOTE, you’ll find original research paper that adress the issue theme of Global Teacher Education Initiatives, Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation Strategies in Africa. Three studies in this edition represent North, North East and East Africa and the rest cover West Africa. The themes are as broad as they are stimulating and illuminating.

I would like to acknowledge the assistance of my graduate staff, Kathy Dimmick, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, USA; and the AJOTE’s editorial review board, some of who reviewed the many manuscripts submitted for publication. I like also to thank those who are not on the Editorial board but who were glad to volunteer to review for this issue of AJOTE. And to you the readers, thanks for your patience and support. This work continues only with your great support and help. Please continue to submit your manuscripts and ask your colleagues to be part of AJOTE.
