Introduction to the special issue “Educational Mosaic: Understanding BRICS States”

Abstract

The brief review outlines the educational mosaic of the core BRICS member states and provides some comparative studies that can shed light on the developments in the emerging economies of the Global South. The studies presented in the special issue outline the cutting-edge developments, new practices, and a great deal of research as well as theoretical gaps that could be addressed by researchers and readers. In this way, the special issue does more than document the current state of education systems in the BRICS countries; it also opens avenues for further inquiry into sustainable and innovative solutions for education in the Global South.
