The WCCES serves as an umbrella organization comprised of comparative education societies from across the globe and is an NGO in official consultative partnership with UNESCO. Beginning with only five comparative education society members in 1970, the Council has today grown to 41 constituent member societies. Most members are national comparative education societies, but some are organized around global regions (for example, Oceania Comparative and International Education Society and Indian Ocean Comparative Education Society) and languages (e.g. Association Francophone d’Éducation Comparée).

Within the past five decades since the founding of the WCCES in 1970, it has grown in number, geographic representation and complexity of the constituent societies. The leadership necessitates a sensitivity towards both the historical legacy, the present state and future outlook and consistent commitment to strive to bring more clarity in the interpretation of our statutes and bylaws while having a constructive understanding of the expectations of various stakeholders for a positive transformation of the Council. 

Historical records and facts about the evolution of the WCCES indicate that despite the shared expression of the need for such a global organization which is a federation of societies from across the globe, the structure and old contradictions of the world are also reflected in activities and sporadic and recurrent issues. With mutual respect, good will, commitment to team spirit and positive use of our respective capabilities toward constructive contributions through collaboration, we work toward the goals of WCCES by emulating and advancing the values of Ubuntu, recognizing our interdependence and the need for promoting equality, peace, compassion and solidarity locally and in the global world.

WCCES is well positioned to contribute to the societal mission of education in the global context by taking the challenges of a multipolar world and acknowledging the changing world with increased amplification of voices from the Global South and hitherto marginalized groups of the Global North.
