[IRTalk] New database puts African education research at the heart of policy and practice

[Nason Bimbe]

Looking at the database at https://essa-africa.org/AERD, there are just
about 66 items on South Africa. However they have a link to suggest studies
to include if you click on About the Database. I suppose  you could use the
facility to suggest some interesting papers.
