Education in the 21st century is undergoing a period of profound transformation. This shift goes beyond the incorporation of new technologies; it touches the ways we teach, learn, manage, and evaluate. In this dynamic landscape, multiple challenges arise—yet so do opportunities that invite us to rethink education as a more human, contextualized, and holistic process.

This issue of DISCE. Journal of Educational and Social Research, titled “Education in Transition: Challenges and Opportunities in Contemporary Contexts”, brings together a selection of works that explore, from diverse perspectives, how educational institutions, teachers, and students are responding to the demands of today’s world. The topics addressed range from teacher training and curriculum innovation to digital citizenship, inclusion, and emotional education.

Each article contributes to a deeper understanding of an ever-changing educational reality, where the need to build bridges between theory and practice, and between research and pedagogical action, becomes increasingly clear. As a journal, we reaffirm our commitment to disseminating rigorous, relevant, and socially engaged knowledge.
