Editorial : retirement of founding editors

Abstract

After a twelve year involvement in the establishment and co-editing of Postcolonial Directions in Education, we both decided that the time was ripe to hand over the reins of the journal to an excellent new editorial team. The new editors are: Charmaine Bonello – University of Malta Carmel Borg – University of Malta Nisha Thapliyal – University of Newcastle (Australia). (Nisha Thapliyal joins the new editorial team in 2023.) It will, of course, be heart-wrenching to retire from this fascinating project, but, as in other aspects of life, one needs to know when to let go even of that to which one has given birth. This is in the interest of ensuring our brainchild's evolution into a sustainable institution. With the completion of Volume 11 in December 2022 marking the accomplishment of twenty one issues, Postcolonial Directions in Education has become well respected and established. It has just been indexed by SCOPUS. We will be happy to be of service to the new editorial team should this be requested, for example with regard to ideas for further indexing, given the data we amassed for SCOPUS, special issue themes, and access to useful contacts, among other things.
