Educational Policy (EP)

Educational Policy is a rigorous, international peer‑reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publishing that serves as a leading forum for research and debate in the field of education policy. First launched in 1987, the journal has a longstanding reputation for advancing understanding of how educational policy shapes teaching, learning, and institutional practice across diverse contexts. Appearing in seven issues per year, the journal features high‑quality original research articles, theoretical essays, critical reviews, and policy analyses that explore the complex interactions between policy decisions and educational practice. The journal’s scope includes comparative public policy, governance and leadership, policy implementation and evaluation, equity and access, curriculum and assessment reforms, and the political economy of education. It examines policy issues at multiple levels—from local school governance to national reforms and global influences—making it indispensable for academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike. Educational Policy stands out for its commitment to bridging scholarly inquiry and practical relevance, offering insights that inform both research and real‑world policy decisions. With an international editorial board and contributors from around the world, the journal fosters scholarly dialogue that deepens our understanding of education as both a social institution and a policy domain.
