Abstract

The four papers in this issue address, in different ways, aspects of teachers’ role in education and curriculum. This issue of Journal of Research, Policy & Practice of Teachers & Teacher Education consists of papers contributed by scholars from various parts of the academic environment, from a teacher in a school to an international author from Nigeria. Between them, they raise important and emerging issues of teaching and teaching practices; the role of peace education (amuch talked about subject but very little written upon); managing curriculum in the primary school; the science acquisition skills of secondary school students and the declining interest in Islamic studies in schools in Nigeria.
