The Journal of Education is an interdisciplinary, peer–reviewed, open access publication of original research and writing on education. The focus of the Journal is on all levels, stages and processes of education (e.g. formal, informal, non–formal, early childhood, lifelong, schooling, adult education, vocational education and training, higher education).
The Journal of Education aims to publish articles which show high levels of theoretical insight and/or analytic empirical work, and gives preference to articles that demonstrate engagement on the key issues that face South African education. Issues internal to education rather than external forces impacting on education are given preference.

The Journal was established in 1969 by the Faculty of Education at the then–University of Natal. In 2014, it became the official journal of the South African Education Research Association (SAERA) and is published by the University of KwaZulu–Natal.

The types of articles published in the Journal include Research Articles, Book Reviews and Editorials.

The primary publication language for articles, abstracts and keywords is English.

The Journal will publish at least three issues, June, Oct and Dec. Occasionally an additional issue is published.

The Abbreviated key title to be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references is J. educ. (Univ. KwaZulu-natal).
