The African Research Journal of Education and Social Sciences (ARJESS) is delighted to present Volume 6, Issue 1 (2019). The journal appreciates the continued support of its readers, authors, reviewers, and partners, which has contributed significantly to its growth and development. For those accessing ARJESS for the first time, we warmly welcome you to our scholarly community. ARJESS is a peer-reviewed online quarterly journal dedicated to publishing scientific research that contributes to theory development, policy formulation, and practical action in the fields of education and the social sciences.
The journal has taken a dive into the river of creativity by encouraging authors from all spheres regionally to submit their manuscripts for publication consideration. Quality is assured through the journal’s peer-review which is fast, rigorous and takes a couple of weeks as authors are carried along adequately in all the publication processes. Steps are taken to guarantee that submissions are well researched, informed and demonstrate familiarity with the relevant literature and key concepts informing the studies. Our readers can also confirm that our published articles have not been published previously in any other journal, magazine or publicly available media like a website.
We thank all authors, reviewers and editorial staff for their contribution to this issue. They have ensured that the journal properly blends the combined perspective of an author. In this issue, ARJESS injects varying concepts from the field of education and social sciences. Our thanks, as always, for the generous contribution of all involved as authors and contributors in this issue. In this issue, the reader is informed from various studies through a networked knowledge based on personal and observant perspectives. Most importantly, the published articles provide recommendations that not only reaffirm what we already know, but open doors to ideas that we are yet to encounter. Whatever is happening in your life right now, the blessing is the gentle nudge for you to go ahead and enrich your knowledge to create the life you desire.
