One of the prerequisites for developing a social and sustainable society is high-quality education, from pre-school and primary school to vocational training and higher education. Educational Work deals with issues of relevance to society in general and education in particular. This area covers pedagogical, general didactic, and subject-based teaching and learning issues. The purpose is to contribute knowledge that better allows us to understand the obstacles that may hinder us from taking advantage of the full potential of education, as well as knowledge of how such obstacles may be overcome and how to develop alternative possibilities.
