Building upon the foundation established in its inaugural issue, the Asian Social and Educational Innovation Journal (ASEIJ) is pleased to present Volume 1, No 2—continuing its mission as a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing original and impactful research on social and educational innovation across Asia.

As societies and educational systems across the region continue to evolve amid complex global changes, the need for integrative, context-sensitive, and forward-looking scholarship has become increasingly evident. ASEIJ remains committed to providing an inclusive academic platform where researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers can share empirical studies, theoretical insights, and innovative practices that advance socially responsive, educationally transformative solutions.

This issue further strengthens the journal’s interdisciplinary focus, encouraging dialogue across the social sciences, education, public administration, and related fields. By transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries, ASEIJ seeks to promote knowledge that is not only academically rigorous but also practically relevant to diverse Asian contexts.

Consistent with its core mission, ASEIJ continues to highlight Asian perspectives on innovation in teaching, learning, and social development. The journal aims to support collaborative efforts that generate new approaches, models, tools, and technologies to enhance educational ecosystems and strengthen institutional and community capacities throughout the region.

Moreover, ASEIJ aspires to serve as a dynamic space for scholarly exchange, fostering meaningful dialogue among contributors from diverse cultural, professional, and disciplinary backgrounds. Through such engagement, the journal seeks to inspire innovation and contribute to a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable social and educational future for Asia.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the editorial board members and peer reviewers whose dedication and academic expertise ensure the continued quality and integrity of the journal. Their contributions are instrumental in maintaining high scholarly standards and supporting the growth of ASEIJ.

On behalf of the editorial team, I invite readers to engage with the articles in this issue and to consider contributing to future editions. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with the academic community in advancing knowledge that benefits societies and educational systems across Asia and beyond.

Warm regards,
