The WCCES serves as an umbrella organization comprised of comparative education societies and UNESCO. The theme of the 2016 Congress is ‘Dialectics of Education: Comparative Perspectives’. The Congress will offer the opportunity for presentations of cutting-edge research to address the theoretical, empirical, and practical problems in education. The concerns and interests of various stakeholders (educational researchers, policymakers, teachers, students, parents, and others) will offer dynamic and in-depth discussion on contemporary educational issues to help interested parties grasp diverse sides of often very complex issues. Presentations concerning the dialectics of education at different stages or in various settings (e.g. preschool, primary, secondary, higher, adult, inclusive, special, vocational, teacher, or distance) are especially welcomed. These may include the dialectics of education in terms of educational finance, leadership and management, policy and planning, and others; from different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, such as philosophy, sociology, culture, feminism, phenomenology, ethnography, semiology or any other frameworks of interest. In terms of methodology, research might adhere to qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods frameworks. Finally, the Congress encourages research that emphasizes particular countries or regions—from local to global—and the adoption of an international or comparative approach or set of approaches.
