The Australian Coalition for Education and Development (ACED) was established in 2008 and brings together 15 non-government organisations in Australia working on education in global development with a particular focus on Education for All.
ACED objectives
- To develop a common advocacy agenda amongst members for education as a human right and as a tool for international development
- To achieve the Sustainable Develop Goals (SDGs), especially as related to education and lifelong learning, and equity and access, and in particular SDG 4
- To affiliate with the Global Campaign for Education (GCE).
All ACED members are committed to increasing Australian aid to education, and supporting the education of disadvantaged children and adults in Australia and the world.
ACED and participating organisations are non-government and not for profit. ACED has been an active participant in a range of consultations with both the Global Partnership for Education, the Global Campaign for Education and the International Council of Adult Education on the Sustainable Development Goals.
