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.

“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)
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
