Founded in 1955, the International Review of Education (IRE), which is edited by the UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning (UIL), is the world’s longest-running peer-reviewed journal of international comparative education, serving not only academic and research communities but, equally, high-level policy and practice readerships throughout the world. At its recent meeting, the Governing Board of UIL decided to adopt the subtitle “Journal of Lifelong Learning” for the IRE. This represents an explicit recognition that this journal is dedicated to a vision of education that embraces the paradigm of lifelong learning.
UIL sees this change as a broadening rather than a narrowing of focus; as a way of adding value to its journal by encouraging a more expansive view of education and learning, and one that more closely matches the mandate of the Institute. The IRE Editorial Team will continue to welcome submissions on all aspects of formal, non-formal and informal education, but will give priority to those papers whose analysis adopts a perspective of lifelong learning.
To reflect this change, the IRE has been given a new cover design, which will appear with the next issue in August/September 2013.
