It provides a platform for people to engage ideas and research findings in a manner that breaks the regular run of the mill approaches to issues that seem to have become “pathetically” irresponsive to addressing contemporary issues that define the reality of the theory and practice of education today. With a wide array of seasoned researchers and academics cutting through all divides the Journal provides a forum for writers to put their ideas in perspectives that clearly resonates with their peculiar reading audience(s) blind peer reviewed, the Nigerian Educator is published online at ------------------ and in hard copy format, making it readily available online all through the year, and in print format twice a year.
