EDITORIAL

Dear Contributors and Readers,

I extend a warm and hearty welcome to you in the pages of MAGIS, the esteemed Double Blind Peer Reviewed Interdisciplinary annual Journal of Postgraduate department of Education, St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata.

MAGIS, meaning “more” or “greater” in Latin, reflects our relentless commitment to fostering academic excellence in the field of education. This journal serves as a platform for the dissemination of knowledge, showcasing research papers contributed by various talented, erudite scholars and practitioners. We believe in the transformative power of education, and MAGIS strives to be a catalyst for intellectual growth and the advancement of educational practices. This sentiment is emphasized by Martin Luther King’s assertion, “The true goal of education is to cultivate both intensive and critical thinking, combining intelligence with character.”

As the Managing Editor, I am proud to witness the cultivated scholarly endeavours illustrated within these pages. The myriad range of research papers presented in MAGIS reflects the depth and breadth of our collective dedication to understanding, perceiving and enhancing the field of education.

I invite you, dear readers, to dive deep into the wealth of knowledge within these pages of MAGIS, and I encourage scholars and educators alike to continue contributing to the ongoing wide discourse on education. Your research and insights play a crucial role in shaping the future of education, aligning with the Jesuit values upheld by St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata. As Malcom X rightly put it, “Education serves as our passport to the future, as tomorrow is reserved for those who diligently prepare for it today.”

Thank you for your commitment to excellence and diligence, and I look forward to the continued success and growth of MAGIS as a beacon of intellectual enlightenment and scholarly exploration.

It is with the constant support, inspiration and encouragement of our beloved Father Principal, Rev. Dr. Dominic Savio, S.J., that this publication has been made possible.

I would like to extend my thanks and heartfelt gratitude for the enthusiasm, effort and co-operation of the editorial board.
