The Institute on Education and Government

The Institute on Education and Government believes that the education of our youth and life-long learning opportunities for all citizens is our nation's most important challenge, and we believe governors play the critical role in meeting this challenge. Our mission is to provide powerful and effective support to governors and other leaders committed to education. We develop ideas for education innovations and research combined with implementation strategies. Our non-partisan Institute concentrates its efforts with individuals and groups that have the compassion, courage, and determination to create initiatives that fulfill this mission. The Institute accomplishes its mission through four core programs: The Governors' Education Planning Program; the Thomas H. Kean Governor of the Year Awards; the National Education Advocacy Program; and Leadership Seminars for Governor's Staffs. The Institute also publishes a quarterly report called The Governors' Briefing.
