The mission of the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education is to inform and influence Georgia leaders through research and non-partisan advocacy to impact education policies and practices for the improvement of student achievement.

Founded in 1992 by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia Economic Developers Association, the Partnership consists of business, education, community and government leaders who share a vision of improved education. Working to be Georgia's foremost change agent in education, the non-profit, non-partisan, independent organization takes lead roles in efforts to shape policy and reform education.   

It consistently advocates a reform framework based on (1) high educational standards for all schools, (2) monitoring progress toward achieving standards, and (3) accountability for all components of the public education system.                                           

The Partnership recognizes that the way to ensure success at the state level is to research issues and influence policy, while encouraging communities to design their own school improvement strategies at the local level. The Partnership is committed to ensuring the future prosperity of our state by giving every Georgian new options and opportunities to succeed.
