Education as Change - Impact Factor, Indexing, Rank, and APC 2025

Aims & Scope

Education as Change (EAC) is an accredited, peer-reviewed scholarly online journal that publishes original articles reflecting critically on issues of equality in education and on the ways in which educational practices contribute to transformation in non-formal, formal and informal contexts.

EAC's Management Committee understands critique, mainly understood in the tradition of critical pedagogies, as a constructive process contributing towards a better world.

Contributions from and about marginalised communities, and from different knowledge traditions are encouraged.

The articles could draw on any rigorous research methodology, as well as transdisciplinary approaches.

Research of a very specialised or technical nature should be framed within relevant discourses.

While specialised kinds of research are encouraged, authors are expected to write for a broader audience of educational researchers and practitioners without losing conceptual and theoretical depth and rigour.

All sectors of education are covered in the journal.

These include primary, secondary and tertiary education, adult education, worker education, educational policy and teacher education.
