ABOUT BEC Founded in 2001, the Basic Education Coalition (BEC) is a group of leading organizations working together to promote economic development and stability globally through education. By leveraging our collective technical expertise and government relations efforts, BEC members raise a unified voice to advocate to US policymakers on Capitol Hill and decisionmakers in the administration for increased support to basic education and to improve equitable access to inclusive, quality learning opportunities around the world. The Basic Education Coalition is an independent 501(c)3, with administrative support services provided by InterAction. For more information, see BEC’s website at www.basiced.org.
