About the Journal
The Bangladesh Journal of Educational Research (BJER) is an open-access, peer-reviewed research journal published by the Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. It provides a platform for researchers, academics, professionals, and practitioners to contribute high-quality empirical and theoretical studies spanning various educational disciplines. BJER welcomes research exploring contemporary educational issues, methodologies, and policy discussions within Bangladesh and broader global contexts.
BJER seeks to encourage rigorous scholarship by publishing research that enhances understanding of educational theory, policy, and practice. While comparative studies are welcome, research focusing on specific cultural or institutional contexts is encouraged, provided it has broader implications.
