The journal allows for a refinement of theoretical and practical basis for improving the quality of education, furthering the oppor
tunity to directly create reflective classroom practices. It invites contributions by academicians, policy-makers and practitioners on various topics related to education, particularly elementary education. Discussions and responses to published articles are also welcome. EDITORIAL BOARD
