The Central European Journal of Educational Research (CEJER) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing educational research with a primary focus on multiethnic regions where educational institutions face significant challenges due to social and territorial stratification, particularly on Central and Eastern Europe. CEJER emphasizes the unique educational contexts, policies, and practices of this region, contributing to a nuanced understanding of its diverse learning environments. While the journal prioritizes research rooted in Central and Eastern Europe, it also actively broadens its scope by welcoming studies from various educational contexts worldwide. In doing so, it contributes to a comparative approach that underscores the importance of cross-regional and international studies that investigate education systems from global aspects, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of how different countries address shared educational challenges. Our journal serves educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from all over the world, providing a crucial resource for those invested in shaping the future of education through research that addresses current challenges and seeks to advance educational equity, effectiveness, and innovation. CEJER publishes original research, theoretical perspectives, and critical reviews that contribute to the global discourse on educational innovation, policy, and practice, with particular attention to the unique cultural, socio-economic, and political dynamics influencing education. We encourage submissions that explore the intersections of education with other fields such as sociology, psychology, economics, and political science, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to understanding educational issues. The journal invites contributions that offer insights not only from Central European perspectives but also from comparative international contexts that resonate with educational challenges and opportunities globally.
