The Molung Educational Frontier is a scholarly journal that focuses on contemporary studies and research on the issues of education, development, and social change. We have chosen these fields of study, realizing that in the changed context, it is important to contribute to enhancing the quality of education that we need for the nation's overall development and social change. It is also essential to understand that social change is possible only when educational bodies formulate the appropriate policies and implement them. This journal aims to promote knowledge and scholarship on the one hand and, on the other, raise awareness about the significance of quality education for sustainable development and social change.
However, the Editorial Board of this journal can develop the theme(s) on any relevant issues in the changing contexts.

The Foundation MF is a not-for-profit-sharing institution, unlike any other company that distributes the profit as a bonus to the shareholders. It is simply an agency that works mainly for the benefit of the general public. Funds raised for institutional activities are used solely to cover the essential costs of the MF works.
The Foundation publishes books and other educational materials based on research and creativity. One crucial task of the Foundation's various activities is to publish a scholarly journal based on original research.
At present, finance for the works has been provided as a grant by individuals involved in MF, government bodies, and nongovernment agencies worldwide. It also generates income from the sales of its publications such as books, journals, and magazines; it raises fees from those who want to build capacities by training facilities on a participation approach basis; it sells expert services in the national and international market.
This journal has appointed the Editorial Board and nominated the guest editors and advisory panel from within the country and also from abroad. The guest editors offer academic support in the related fields and also technical support regarding the quality of the journal.
