The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education was founded in 1992 and today is working hard to be Georgia's foremost change agent in education. The non-profit, non-partisan independent organization consists of business, education, community and government leaders who are focused on efforts to shape policy and reform public education in the state.
Our Mission: Inform and influence Georgia leaders through research and non-partisan advocacy to impact education policies and practices for the improvement of student achievement.
