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 has now become a publication outlet for academics nationally and internationally and has its home at the University of South Africa, South Africa.
