Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to launch this Special Issue of Children, in which we intend to collect the results of research on the improvement and advances of compulsory education with a multidisciplinary nature. The general titles allow the publication of articles on the early preschool stages (approximately 0 to 6 years, depending on the country), primary education (up to approximately 12 years), and secondary education (up to approximately 12 years). In addition, to flexibility in the age of the research subjects, the research topics can also be diverse and cover the research content of this age group: sports, physical education, motor skills, art, music, children's language, games, health, first aid, or other topics of interest in early childhood and primary and secondary education that are necessary and that may be requested by researchers or academics.
