Education Sector is an independent think tank that challenges conventional thinking in education policy. We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization committed to achieving measurable impact in education policy, both by improving existing reform initiatives and by developing new, innovative solutions to our nation's most pressing education problems.Most of the organizations that come to mind when one says "education policy" either conduct research, represent constituents' interests, or advocate fixed policy agendas. Too often the research is written in language that's hard for policymakers to understand, and thus they don't use a lot of it. And much of the work produced by membership organizations and traditional education advocacy groups is less than objective.This lack of credibility and clarity in research and analysis hurts the cause of education improvement: policymakers make important decisions on the basis of biased information; good ideas don't reach the people with the power to implement them; and it becomes harder to create and sustain an intellectual climate that supports reform.Education Sector was designed to address these problems. Since our founding in 2005, Education Sector has established our expertise in key issue areas—including educational choice, human capital, K–12 accountability, and higher education—and gained credibility as an independent leader in the field.
