Transitions in the education sector can be understood in various ways and consequently have different implications in the context of school development. Transitions within the organization can be described by letting go of practiced approaches and pursuing new ones. Furthermore, transitions can also occur at interfaces, which can pose new challenges for students in their school and everyday lives. Transitions also arise in areas where formal educational institutions collaborate with educational partners outside their own organization. This issue focuses on these facets of transitions and highlights their potential for development initiatives in schools.
