The Journal of Education and Cultural Development (JECD) aims to serve as a premier international platform for interdisciplinary research that examines the dynamic relationship between education and cultural development. The journal seeks to bridge the gap between educational theory and cultural practice, fostering a deeper understanding of how educational systems, policies, and pedagogies shape cultural identities, and conversely, how diverse cultural contexts influence educational outcomes. JECD is committed to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research that contributes to sustainable educational innovation and the preservation and evolution of cultural heritage globally.
