The Journal of International Cooperation in Education (JICE) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that engages with empirical, theoretical and methodological discussions on educational policies, systems and practices in the global South. Since its official launch in 1998, JICE has been an alternative venue for generating non-Western-centric knowledge in educational development. JICE aims to contribute to accumulating field-level knowledge, policy-making and development strategies in the global South while espousing an unconventional mode of international cooperation in education.

Reflect and analyse the past, present and future of the global educational policy architecture from unconventional critical perspectives.
Discuss sustainable forms and practices of education in the global South drawing from critiques of the dominant development paradigm.
Bring voices of diverse stakeholders involved in International Cooperation in Education such as practitioners, grassroots organisations, and policymakers in addition to scholars.
