250 million children are struggling to achieve a basic
education. We work together, for them.

The Basic Education Coalition (BEC) is a group of leading international development organizations and academic institutions working together to promote global peace and prosperity through education. By leveraging our collective technical expertise and combining advocacy efforts, BEC members raise a unified voice to ensure US policy makers support and strengthen education for the developing world. 


New BEC Statement & Resources on Systemic Racism, Violence, and Injustice

The Basic Education Coalition (BEC) affirms that Black Lives Matter and stands in solidarity with the movement, its global allies, and all those who are taking action against racial and ethnic violence and injustice. BEC promotes global peace and prosperity through education for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, caste, gender, sexual orientation, ability, background, culture, experience, perspective, or nationality. We condemn acts of violence fueled by systemic racism and hate in the United States that undermine our mission of promoting a better life for children around the world. Equally, we condemn the exclusion of historically underrepresented groups in our work at home and abroad. Find the full statement and resources here.
