Welcome to the Australian Coalition of Education and Development.

We are a coalition of organisations that work on education in the development sector.  We have come together to co-ordinate our efforts to better promote awareness in the Australian public of education as an overseas development issue and more effectively advocate with government for improvements to aid policy regarding education, specifically commitments made to achieve Education for All.

We are a member of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE).  The GCE is a civil society movement that aims to end the global education crisis.  Together we hold governments to account for their promises repeatedly made to provide Education for All.  The GCE’s mission is to make sure that governments act now to deliver the right of every girl, boy, woman and man to a free quality public education.

Since our formation in 1999, millions of people and thousands of organisations in over 100 countries have united to demanding Education for All.  Civil society organisations, trade unions, child rights campaigners, teachers, parents and students have joined together to demand universal education.
