Stella Bolanle Apata is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Educational Studies, College of Education, at the University of South Africa, and a scholar whose work is shaping contemporary conversations on language, digital transformation, decolonial education, and the future of learning in Africa.

She writes with unusual clarity on how language, culture, technology, and policy intersect, and her scholarship consistently centres African realities within global debates on knowledge, identity, and educational change. As an editor and contributor, Dr Apata has built a growing profile in forward-looking academic publishing. She is the editor of *Youth Civic Engagement and Political Participation in Digital Spaces* and co-editor of *Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Transnational Education for Sustainable Development*. She is also a contributing author to Springer’s *Smart Technologies for Climate Change and Net Zero Policies: Practical Approaches Towards Sustainability*. Across these projects, she brings intellectual depth, editorial vision, and a strong commitment to scholarship that is both rigorous and socially consequential. Her work is distinguished by its ability to connect African linguistic and educational questions to wider issues of justice, innovation, and transformation, making her a compelling editorial voice in contemporary international scholarship.

Oluwatoyin Ayodele Ajani is a distinguished scholar, educator, and researcher specializing in curriculum studies, higher education, digital education, and language pedagogy. Currently a lecturer at the University of Zululand, South Africa, Dr. Ajani has dedicated his academic career to advancing research on education transformation, digital inclusion, and linguistic diversity in Africa.

A prolific researcher with an h-index of 17 and over 1,000 citations, Dr. Ajani has published extensively on decolonizing education, digital learning integration, and the socio-economic impact of language policies in Africa. His work, including “Decolonising Teacher Education Curriculum in South Africa: The Realities and Challenges in Higher Education,” offers a critical analysis of colonial legacies in African education and their implications for indigenous language preservation. Similarly, his research on curriculum transformation and digital education strategies in Africa highlights the urgent need for culturally responsive teaching methods. Beyond academia, Dr. Ajani is an active mentor, policy advisor, and educational consultant, working closely with government agencies, NGOs, and international organizations to promote inclusive education and language sustainability. His interdisciplinary expertise makes him a valuable editor to Cultural DNA: How African Languages Preserve Identity and History, aligning seamlessly with UNESCO’s Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032).

With a Ph.D. in Information Systems, Dr. Randle has developed innovative frameworks for AI applications in digital storytelling, game-based learning, and interactive media for indigenous cultural expression. His research explores how artificial intelligence, digital archives, and interactive media can help reclaim and preserve Africa’s linguistic and cultural heritage. He has led projects in digital arts education, machine learning in cultural artifacts, and game-based pedagogy, contributing to the cultural sustainability of African languages in the digital era. Beyond academia, Dr. Randle has played a pivotal role in developing AI-driven storytelling systems that incorporate African languages, ensuring that endangered languages are not only preserved but also reinvented for contemporary and future generations.

Derecho al desistimiento

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
