Aims & Scope

Frontiers of Education in China is dedicated to illuminating the results of the newest educational research in China and providing an academic platform for international exchanges. We have carefully selected papers that have previously been published in Chinese universities and scholarly journals as well as academic essays that will be published for the first time. After an exhaustive peer review process, we hope to present these articles to a global audience. Through these papers, international scholars can have the opportunity to understand the current conditions of education in China as well as the research of Chinese academics. Our journal touches upon numerous branches of educational research and theory, as well as educational reform and practical pedagogy.
