Founded in 1992 by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia Economic Developers Association, the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit working tirelessly to improve student achievement and workforce development in Georgia.
The mission of the Georgia Partnership is to inform and influence Georgia leaders for the improvement of student achievement. We accomplish our mission through research and non-partisan advocacy to impact public education policies and practices.
The Georgia Partnership has worked to shape public education policy for 33 years. For an overview of our initiatives and impact across the state of Georgia, download the 2026 Power of the Partnership
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Georgia Economic Development Association found the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education.
The Partnership hosted its first Critical Issues Forum, establishing what has become one of the organization's signature programs.
The Partnership leveraged $30 million in state, private, and local matching funds to turn 51 local school systems into models of academic excellence. Each system participating in the Next Generation School Project succeeded in raising student achievement results.
