AED works with schools, ministries of education, community organizations, and others around the world.
Many countries lack reliable, current data with which to make good education-related decisions.
Girls' Education As essential as basic education is to all students, recent research has highlighted its specific benefits to girls. Yet cultural, economic, and other barriers often prevent girls' school enrollment and attendance. Increasingly, AED's efforts in girls' education have recognized the need to go beyond the formal education system to engage communities, the private sector, religious leaders, and others in increasing girls' access to basic education and to improving education quality for both girls and boys. AED's Strategies for Advancing Girls Education project is currently being implemented in several countries in Africa.
