About the Journal

JERP focuses on research that contributes to one or more of the following areas:

1. Equity and inclusion, including access to education, participation, representation, and fair educational outcomes;
2. Community-engaged education, including partnerships between educational institutions and communities, community participation, and the use of local knowledge in education; and
3. Education for sustainable development, including educational responses to social, economic, and environmental issues.

The journal welcomes studies on topics including:

• teaching and learning;
• curriculum and assessment;
• teacher education and professional development;
• educational leadership, policy and management;
• educational technology, artificial intelligence and responsible digital practices;
• inclusive education and learner diversity;
• culturally responsive pedagogy;
• culture, religion and local knowledge in education;
• community-based learning and educational partnerships; and
• sustainability and social change in education.

JERP accepts empirical research, review articles, and conceptual papers. Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and participatory approaches are welcome. Research may be conducted in formal, non-formal, or informal educational settings, from early childhood education to higher education and adult learning.

Studies based on a particular institution, community, or local context are welcome. Authors should clearly describe the context and explain how the findings contribute to educational research, policy, practice, or communities. Manuscripts that only describe a programme or activity without systematic analysis and a clear educational contribution are outside the journal’s scope.
