Africa Education Review has been in existence since 1972 under the name Educare. For many years it served as the in-house publication vehicle for members of staff in the Faculty of Education at the University of South Africa (Unisa). A decision was taken in 2003 that the journal should change in status from being an in-house journal to one that is housed in the Faculty of Education.  

The Journal now offers a publication outlet for academics nationally and internationally and has its home in the School of Arts, Education, Languages and Communication in the College of Human Sciences at the University of South Africa (UNISA).

Africa Education Review is a scholarly, peer-reviewed accredited journal that seeks the submission of unpublished articles on current educational issues. It encourages debate, both theoretical and practical, on a wide range of topics that represent a variety of interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary interests.  Africa Education Review is interested in attracting submissions which exhibit innovative qualitative and quantitative research methods and approaches. The Journal seeks to stimulate important dialogue and intellectual exchange on education and transformation with respect to education in its broadest sense. What is of particular interest to the Journal are manuscripts that seek to contribute to the challenges facing primary, secondary and higher education on the African continent as well as  in broader international and global contexts.  

The journal is cognisant of the need for capacity building in the area of scholarly writing and publication among novice writers. It is also committed to the acceleration and development of capacity among up-and-coming researchers and writers including those from developing countries, with particular emphasis on Africa without compromising quality and rigour. 

Peer review
All articles published in the journal are subjected to a rigorous peer-review system.
