Overview

Mission

Education sector is a nonpartisan organization committed to achieving measurable impact in education policy, and its mission is to promote changes in policy and practice that lead to improved student opportunities and outcomes. Effective september 15, 2013 education sector merged and became a wholly-owned and controlled affiliate of the american institutes for research in the behavioral sciences (air/EIN: 25-0965219). Subsequent to the affiliation date, all employees became employees of the air legal entity, and the education sector legal entity ceased to solicit and enter into any new contracts to provide services. New contracting activities were undertaken by the air entity. The education sector legal entity did, however, continue to perform on contracts that existed as of the affiliation date, or subsequently extended or modified, using employees seconded from air. As such contracts had been completed, education sector was dissolved as a legal entity in 2014.

What it reported doing in 2014

Education sector produces rigorous, independent research and analysis on a wide range of elementary, secondary, and higher-education topics.
