Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world in the 21st century is changing rapidly and inequalities are increasing and the future is ever-more uncertain. Education systems face the challenge of helping future generations to develop the necessary values, skills and competences to deal successfully with the demands of a changing world. Education reform is one key way through which to fight inequalities and provide to all the opportunity to develop their potential, whatever their age and background. Bringing about change in education to the benefit or all is not easy as many factors are in play and governments and policy makers can learn from each other’s success stories.
This Special Issue invites contributions related to education reform at different education levels, different spread (regional, national and European), as well as other successful education interventions on smaller scales which have helped to transform students’ lives to their benefit, to society, and to the world. Topics can include research that cuts across community initiatives, policy reform, qualifications, vocational education, compulsory education and any other aspects in education which aim to change current education provision in response to societal changes. The editors are contacting established scholars to identify emerging scholars; however, others can submit independently. Please send a structured abstract to any of the Guest Editor or the Editorial Office ([email protected]).
