Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a world where sustainable development is a fundamental pillar for global progress, education plays a crucial role in building equitable, resilient, and environmentally responsible societies. Educational governance and technological innovations in learning not only strengthen the quality and access of education but also act as catalysts for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The adoption of inclusive policies, sustainable management models, and innovative digital strategies in education is essential to address current challenges and transform education systems into key agents for sustainable development.
This Special Issue will contribute to sustainability by providing articles that disseminate relevant findings, supporting their arguments with high-impact empirical or theoretical evidence, and offering innovative perspectives for academia and educational practice.
Consequently, the editor invites the academic community to submit original, high-quality research articles that address the intersections between educational governance, e-learning innovations, and sustainable development. Priority will be given to studies with sound methodological approaches, rigorous empirical analysis, and significant theoretical contributions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainability strategies in higher education;
- Governance models for sustainable educational institutions;
- Technological innovations in digital teaching and learning;
- Inclusive policies and equity in access to education.
General objective:
This Special Issue aims to bring together research results that contribute to the field of knowledge and promote theoretical and empirical understanding of phenomena associated with two major topics: innovations in e-learning and the governance of educational institutions within the framework of sustainable development.
