About the Journal

The Journal of Education, Society & Sustainable Practice (JESSP) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that examines how education and societal practices contribute to advancing sustainability. It bridges scientific research and community education by featuring work that connects sustainable development principles with educational theory and practice. JESSP serves as a platform for scholars, educators, policymakers, and practitioners to collaborate in empowering individuals and communities to address sustainability challenges.

Mission

The JESSP’s mission is to provide a platform to advance high-quality research and innovative educational practices focused on sustainability. We are committed to exploring discoveries at the intersections of education, society, and development by supporting scholarship that drives social, economic, and environmental progress. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we aim to empower students, educators, researchers, policymakers, individuals, and communities to respond to the world’s pressing challenges.

Vision

Our vision is to shape a future where the gap is bridged between education, societal needs, and sustainability, and education becomes a powerful catalyst for sustainable development. The JESSP envisages to become a globally recognized journal that informs, and also inspires action, encouraging the integration of sustainable development goals (SDGs) into educational frameworks to build resilient, equitable, and thriving communities for future generations.

Aims and Scope

JESSP publishes original research, reviews, and policy articles that examine the role of education in promoting sustainability across various societal sectors. The journal also publishes editorials, written by the editorial team or guest contributors, from time to time, to address current trends or challenges in education for sustainability and set the tone for the journal issue, highlight key themes, or reflect on recent developments.

The journal aims to:

  • Promote Education for Sustainability: Examine how educational approaches contribute to sustainability across local, national, and global levels. This includes formal and informal education settings, from K-12 schools to higher education and community-based initiatives.
  • Support Sustainable Practices in Educational Institutions: Examine how educational institutions can incorporate sustainable practices in their curricula, and community outreach, including environmental stewardship, sustainable resource management, and ethical governance.
  • Integrate Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Encourage research that combines insights from education, social sciences, environmental studies, economics, and other related fields to foster a holistic approach to sustainability.
  • Contribute to Policy Development: Inform educational policy at local, national, and global levels, providing evidence-based recommendations for integrating sustainability principles into educational systems, governance, and curricula. 

Article Types

  • Research Articles: Present original findings­–both theoretical and applied–on education and sustainable development. They include a clear problem statement, literature review, methodology, results, and discussion. These articles link sustainability with educational systems and societal practices, offering new insights into their relationship.
  • Review Articles: Review articles offer a comprehensive overview of existing research on a specific topic. They synthesize findings to highlight trends, gaps, and future directions in education, sustainability, and social practices.
  • Policy Articles: Policy papers present evidence-based recommendations for integrating sustainability into educational policies and practices at all levels. These articles are designed to inform policy discussions and decision-making.
