Focus-and-Scope

Aspects of development with which the journal is concerned include the results of critical thinking and educational areas in broader sense, including formal and non-formal education, from preschool to adult education, and also education in general such as history education philosophy, social capital, social and culture, educational morality, community development, leadership, multicultural education; human development, well being, the availability of human rights; democracy, social cohesion and peace-building; resilience and environmental sustainability; and improving the competencies of students and educators through activities in many subjects. 

JPPFA is interested in comparative studies that lead to new insights and challenge of orthodox theories; that have potential for policy impact; and that apply to broad range of settings, including industrial democracies as well as low and middle income countries, countries in political transition and countries recovering from armed conflict and social unrest. JPPFA also considers papers that look at education and development through the policies and practices of official development assistance and commercial education trade. JPPFA engages these approaches to deepen the understanding of the relationship between education policy and development.
