 This diversity comprises the vibrant preK-12 education industry.

EIA is the industry’s leading collective voice, and provides the framework for individual education entrepreneurs and corporate executives, together with public school leaders, to work together to promote effective models for transforming teaching and learning.

Because our focus is ultimately on helping all students achieve college and career readiness, we seek mutually respectful relationships with parents, state and local school administrators/school boards, the civil rights community and teachers. We also work with our partners in post secondary education to facilitate the transition to college and to the workplace.

The education industry is poised for explosive growth in all of its segments from preK-12 through post-secondary education. In fact, education is rapidly becoming a $1 trillion industry, second in size only to the health care industry, and represents 10 percent of America’s GNP. Federal, state and local expenditures on education exceed $750 billion.
