     JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL ISSUES
    NOTES TO CONTRIBUTORS
    The need to document our past and research into the future necessitated the
birth of this journal. It will indeed act as a forum for experts in all fields
of human endeavour to disseminate research findings on new issues that will
benefit mankind. The journal aims to have a generalist focus and publish works
pertinent to Contemporary Issues in education.
    Call for submissions
    We are currently accepting submissions for the 4th issue of the journal on
Arresting Educational Inequalities. Deadline for paper submission is June 30th
2007
    This volume welcomes contributions on educational differences in
achievement, home environment and schools performance, the curriculum and the
problem of under-achievement, the inclusive curriculum, and the remedial
(psychological) and child friendly classroom, the myth and reality of
inequality, is inequality normal and do on. The Editorial Board emphasizes
papers that offer solutions to the problems of inequality from Educational
foundations to management, curriculum studies, exercise and movement studies.
    We are currently accepting submissions for the 5th issue of the Journal on
The Future of Curriculum Theorizing vol. 3 (3) Deadline for paper submission is
October 30th 2007
    The question of what will be the nature, focus and impact of curriculum
theorizing appears often taken for granted: Curriculum will be planned
according to the social needs as we are told but at what point do this happens.
We are seldom/or hardly told. What will the society of the future look like and
what shall we offer as the curriculum.
    This edition is on the yet-undeciphered but gradually emerging problems
likely to confront the bodies of knowledge currently taught in schools and
colleges. For example: will physics remain as physics, or social studies as
social studies or will curriculum theorists themselves remain in business. The
Editorial Board will specially welcome papers that identify potential threats
to the contents and the spheres of knowledge currently taught and which offer
practical solutions to them, from curriculum politicking to strategies,
pedagogy, Universal basic Education interventionism.
    Democracy, Accountability and Educational management Vol. 4(1). Deadline for
paper submission is January 2008
    The 1990s were the years of demilitarization and democratization in the
developing countries. Schools (primary, secondary and tertiary) have supposedly
being influenced. Educators are prone to query the nature, focus and substance
and directions of these changes in the management of schools. In Nigeria for
example, it could be asked if democracy has impacted positively on the
management of public schools, or how justifiable was the attempted
privatization of Federal/Unity schools by the central administration or in
Lagos state ask if the high-faulting pronouncements of the fire-branding
activist government transformed into smooth efficient, non-dictatorial
management of schools and boards. Does paper democracy translate into
comfortable and professionally acceptable classrooms? The Editors will welcome
critically yet empirical submissions. Are school managers psychologically
repressed in the emergent democracies in Africa?
    4. Health, Sports and Gender in Education Vol. 4(2). Deadline for paper
submission is June 30th 2008.
    This edition will include papers on poverty, religion, belief systems,
voodoo, tokenism and so on, sports participation, reporting and research; why
are female sports discriminated against or why are female sportsmen paid less
than their female counterparts in professional sports; the girl-child, rights
to education, gender inequalities and affirmative action; gender sensitization
,socialization and the re-training of teachers, and the emergent constraints to
effective health and sports practices (and teaching) in schools. The
submissions could either be phenomenological or empirical while the editors
will pace high premium on those offering solutions to problems and constraints.
