Education About Asia is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Association for Asian Studies especially for middle-school and university classroom teachers. The journal covers the entire field of Asian studies, including classical cultures and literature and background issues in current events. Other frequent features are guides to print and digital resources, such as movies (both feature films and documentaries), teaching materials, and web resources. The journal publishes theme issues on topics that include Islam in Asia, marriage and family, youth culture, religion, economics, and business, visual and performing arts, and Asia in world history.
The journal was established in 1996 in order to support the teaching and general knowledge of the members of the association and others involved in teaching. All articles are available free online. The founding editor-in-chief is Lucien Ellington (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga).
Reception and evaluation

- "Especially for university faculty who are new to teaching about Asia," says one scholar, "the publication is an indispensable starting place for both designing courses and building a general store of knowledge about Asia."
- The Columbia University site Education for Educators says the journal is "Highly recommended."
