Raising Awareness


 

Advocating for Change


We believe we must all enter discussions around public education with a verified set of facts to lay a strong foundation for progress, and that our areas of focus must reflect the needs of our community, consider systemic and historical inequities, and center the student in decision-making.

To increase understanding of challenges and solutions in public education, NPEF shares resources and information on critical topics that are data-driven, research-based, nuanced, and student-centered.
