The European Journal of Education is an international English-language academic journal on European education, published quarterly by Wiley-Blackwell for The European Institute of Education and Social Policy and indexed by Thomson Reuters for impact factor.
Each issue is devoted to a particular theme. Contributions are commissioned from a range of specialists, in order to achieve a European, policy-oriented perspective. The journal actively seeks to partner with organisations (e.g. universities, foundations, international organisations) with a view to organising seminars on topical or futures themes.
The prime aims of the European Journal of Education are:
• To examine, compare and assess education policies, trends, reforms and programmes of European countries in an international perspective.
• To disseminate policy debates and research results to a wide audience of academics, researchers, practitioners and students of education sciences.
• To contribute to the policy debate at the national and European level by providing European administrators and policy makers in international organisations, national and local governments with comparative and up-to-date material centred on specific themes of common interest.
Famous quotes containing the words european, journal and/or education:
“I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States.”
—George III (1738–1820)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
