Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

CE International develops and amplifies innovative solutions to education challenges.

CE International's goals are aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recently adopted by the global community. Specifically, SDG 4 - to ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning. CE International's goals are:

1. To support countries in making measurable progress toward education-related SDGs - access, equity and quality (primarily SDG 4)
2. To ensure that innovation in education becomes the driving force behind improving learning achievement globally

CE International advocates on behalf of children with audiences at the global, regional, and national levels. To engage governments, schools and school systems, non-profits, and the private sector in advancing its mission.

Working in partnership on programs and projects that support educators, education leaders and the children that they serve.
Convening through content-specific conferences, trainings, meetings, symposia; in-person or virtual; alone or in partnership with others;

Outreach through digital/print publications and communications, website, social media, marketing, direct service;

And through aggregating, “curating" and sharing innovative practices; original research in partnership with others.

CE International is uniquely positioned to work at the intersection of our three main programmatic areas to advance accessible, equitable, quality education for all. We have Country Leads in 35 countries and we work through a network of technical experts.

This integrated strategy allows CE International to differentiate itself from its traditional competitors and craft a much more relevant, compelling identity for donors, supporters, and educators worldwide. These initiatives align with CE International's concern for children living in fragile circumstances and under-resourced communities.

CE International has always aspired to be a leader in innovation to advance childhood education, and has accomplished the following:

Providing training and technical support to schools, NGOs and government officials
Producing and disseminating information about innovative education approaches and practices
Disseminating critical information, news, reports and research to educators and education providers worldwide

Developed the International Principles of Practice for Educators that reflects internationally accepted education development, humanitarian values and holistic education philosophy.
