The Education Trust

The Education Trust was established in 1990 by the American Association for Higher Education as a special project to encourage colleges and universities to support K-12 reform efforts. Since then, the Ed Trust has grown into an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to make schools and colleges work for all of the young people they serve. We believe that it is impossible to achieve significant change in K-12 without simultaneously changing the way that postsecondary education does business. We also believe that postsecondary education needs improving as much as K-12.
