“…Policies cover various areas of government, including economic policies and policies usually related to social sectors such as education, health and welfare. Education policy provides insight into how a country strategizes and achieves educational goals, with future studies requiring exploration of the influence of global policy issues (Zhang et al, 2023). Educational policies, especially those related to the promotion and advancement of the teaching profession, must address global difficulties, meet expectations, and be in line with contemporary progress.…”

The quality of education is influenced by many elements, such as the quality of teachers, efforts to increase equity, curriculum design, provision of adequate facilities and infrastructure, and the creation of a conducive learning environment. Furthermore, government legislation facilitates improvements in these components. In optimizing the achievement of educational goals, it is necessary to form a cadre of educators who are capable and able to demonstrate exemplary performance. This research aims to analyze educational policies to increase the professional competence of elementary school teachers. This type of research is qualitative. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The data obtained in this research can be classified into primary data and secondary data. The main data sources for this research consist of critical school leaders and certified teachers. Secondary data refers to a comprehensive collection of materials available in a research environment, including diverse formats such as letters, images, and procedural documents related to a research investigation. The data analysis technique uses qualitative analysis using the theoretical framework proposed by Milles and Huberman. The results of this research show that educational policy analysis is to improve the quality of the teaching profession, legal sources increasingly cover the position of teachers, and professional teacher education improves the position and professionalism of teachers.

“…identify the stakeholders involved in mangrove management in five coastal provinces in Sri Lanka; 2. understand and map the collaboration among mangrove management stakeholders; 3. delineate stakeholders' views on mangrove management Even though mangrove management is always viewed as complicated, a study of mangrove management stakeholder collaborations covering a whole country has never been carried out using social network analysis (SNA). Usage of SNA in environmental science and policy research is not prevalent in Asia (Zhang et al, 2021). The insights from this study can be used as a baseline to understand the current collaborative networks of mangrove management in Sri Lanka, to help to fill knowledge gaps, and to better plan mangrove (and other natural resource) management in the country and beyond.…”

“…Such nationwide studies would give a clear understanding of how the different stakeholders in various parts of the country perceive the same regulations or management of the central government. SNA in policy research is not widely used in Asia (Zhang et al, 2021). No studies including SNA in environmental policy research have been carried out in Sri Lanka to the best of our knowledge.…”

“…SNA is suitable for exploring complex and interactive relationships in policy research, offering significant insights into the innovation and development of public policy. A study by Zhang et al (2023) systematically reviewed the application of SNA in public policy studies, emphasizing the benefits of SNA for public policy research. The study suggests that network analysis in public administration should be re-examined, advocating for a broader study perspective and scope, interdisciplinary theoretical interaction, and the utilization of new technological tools for giant network analysis.…”

This research delves into the intricate relationship between law and sustainable development within South West Nigerian public policy context. The aim was to critically assess the multidisciplinary approaches in policy formation, particularly focusing on the interplay of law and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the region. Utilizing a multidisciplinary research methodology, the study examined a plethora of policy documents and legal provisions, underpinned by a comprehensive analytical framework. Results from the research highlighted the historical evolution of sustainable policies in South West Nigeria, emphasizing the pivotal role of legal frameworks in steering development. The study revealed the transformative nature of policy research and development in the region, influenced by both domestic legal paradigms and international sustainable development agendas. In conclusion, while South West Nigeria has made commendable progress in aligning its policies with sustainable development imperatives, there remain inherent challenges. These challenges, deeply rooted in the region's historical and socio-political fabric, necessitate a multidisciplinary approach for effective mitigation. Recommendations from this study underscore the importance of continuous stakeholder engagement, regular policy reviews, and fostering international collaborations. Such measures ensure that the region's policies remain attuned to the dynamic global sustainable development landscape, addressing the unique challenges and harnessing the opportunities inherent in South West Nigeria's development trajectory. Keywords: South West Nigeria, Sustainable Development Goals, Public Policy, Legal Frameworks, Multidisciplinary Approaches, Policy Research.
