Articles will cover a broad spectrum of educational topics, including but not limited to curriculum development, teaching practices, assessment strategies, teacher development, educational leadership, policy reforms, funding, equity in education, the integration of technology in learning, and the impact of globalization on local education systems. Additional focus areas may include inclusive education, mental health in schools, the role of parents and communities in education, digital literacy, vocational training, lifelong learning, educational governance, the relationship between education and the workforce, early childhood education, the digital divide, and education for sustainability. The platform encourages contributors to not only highlight existing challenges but also propose practical solutions and recommendations for improvement across these diverse issues. EReD aims to engage educators, policymakers, and professionals in fostering informed, collaborative efforts to advance educational progress in Bangladesh.
