The World Yearbook of Education was first published by the Evans Brothers in 1965 in association with the University of London Institute of Education and Teachers College, Columbia University. Since then it has become established as one of the most important forums for work in comparative education in the world.

Each volume addresses a major issue in comparative education and includes contributions from a range of leading international scholars. Subjects covered include:

The impact of IT on education
Gender, race and class in education
Higher education
Special educational needs and inclusive education
Educational management
