This policy outlines the principles and guidelines for all contributors to the EduLens Africa blog. Our aim is to foster a vibrant platform for insightful, impactful, and ethically sound discussions around African education.

1. Our Blog’s Purpose & Content

The EduLens Africa blog serves as a vital bridge between research, evidence, and practical action in African education. We publish content that:

Showcases Impact: (As in "Transformation Stories") Demonstrates how research or evidence has directly led to tangible transformations in education on the ground across Africa.

Sparks New Thinking: (As in "Opinion/Thought Leadership Pieces") Presents unique perspectives, bold ideas, and well-reasoned arguments that challenge existing norms and spark constructive dialogue.

Informs & Inspires: Provides valuable insights, lessons learned, and forward-looking ideas for researchers, policymakers, educators, and practitioners.

2. Core Editorial Principles

All contributions to the EduLens Africa blog must adhere to the following principles:

Relevance to Africa: All content must be directly relevant to education challenges, opportunities, and contexts within African countries.

Accuracy & Evidence: Information presented as fact or evidence must be accurate and verifiable. Contributors are responsible for the factual accuracy of their submissions.

Originality: Submissions must be original work not previously published in their current form elsewhere. If based on previously published work, this must be clearly stated, and the submission must offer a distinct new perspective or synthesis.

Clarity & Accessibility: Content should be written in clear, concise, and accessible language, avoiding excessive academic jargon. Our audience is broad, including policymakers and practitioners, not just academics.

Respect & Inclusivity: Content must be respectful, inclusive, and free from discrimination, hate speech, or personal attacks. We promote constructive dialogue.

Ethical Conduct: All research or work discussed must have been conducted ethically, with appropriate permissions and respect for participants.

3. Submission Process

We follow a two-step submission process:

Pitch Submission: All contributors must first submit a brief pitch (overview) outlining their proposed story or idea. This allows us to assess alignment with our blog's focus.

Full Submission (by Invitation): Upon acceptance of a pitch, contributors will be invited to submit their full piece, following the specific guidelines provided for "Transformation Stories" or "Opinion/Thought Leadership Pieces."

4. Editorial Review & Editing Process

Review: All submissions undergo an internal review by the EduLens Africa editorial team to ensure quality, relevance, and adherence to our policy.

Feedback: We may provide feedback and suggestions for revisions to enhance clarity, impact, or fit.

Editing: The EduLens Africa editorial team reserves the right to edit submitted pieces for grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, tone, and length. We will make every effort to preserve the author's original voice and message. Significant structural changes will be discussed with the author.

Final Decision: The final decision on publication rests solely with the EduLens Africa editorial team.
