We are delighted to present this Conference Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Social Sciences (ICSS) 2020. This conference is held on October 16th-17th, 2020 in Universitas Negeri Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. ICSS is organized by a consortium of nine faculties from nine universities and two polytechnics namely: Faculty of Social Sciences and Law State University of Surabaya (Universitas Negeri Surabaya), Faculty of Social Sciences State University of Makassar (Universitas Negeri Makassar), Faculty of Social Sciences State University of Manado (Universitas Negeri Manado), Faculty of Social Sciences and Politics Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jawa Timur, Faculty of Law Universitas Trunojoyo Madura, Bali State Polytechnic and Jember State Polytechnic. The ICSS is one of the first major international meetings on social sciences. It is attended by scholars, researchers, practitioners, and government to discuss research and practices in social sciences. This year theme is “Transforming Education in Improving Excellent Human Resources for Great Indonesia” and The Sub Themes are Education, Law, Politics and Social Sciences, Economics, Public Administration, Communication, Business Administration, Anthropology, Humanities.

There are 215 papers submitted in which the authors are from Australia, Canada, France and Indonesia, and from that number the committee has selected 173 papers for publication. To do so, the review process is conducted by the main editor peer review. Each paper is reviewed by two reviewers. The committee also applied plagiarism screening by using Turnitin software. The level of interest in the conference subject matter is maintained by organizing the conference in 4 parallel sessions, each on a specific theme, to provide each paper with sufficient time for presentation and to accommodate all of them within the overall time allocated.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to our fellow members of the local Committee from each member of the consortium for their work in securing a substantial input of papers and in encouraging participation from their areas. We are also indebted to those who served as chairmen as without their contribution, it is impossible to conduct the conference. We also acknowledge all participants for their contributions to the Conference program as well as their contributions to these Proceedings. We would also like to record our appreciation for the work of Universitas Negeri Makassar team in taking care of all the excellent logistical arrangements for the conference. Their efforts are marvelous. We are looking forward to the fourth ICSS which will be scheduled in 2021.
