Forum for the Future of Public Education, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The Forum for the Future of Public Education, housed in the College of Education at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, is a strategic initiative designed to engage academics, practitioners, policy makers, business and community leaders, and others in reflective dialogue and to encourage research on key policy issues influencing the future of public schools, colleges and universities. Pivotal to the Forum’s agenda are questions of access, equity, affordability, accountability, and responsiveness at all levels. The ultimate mission of the Forum is to enhance the dialogue around the future of education by injecting credible and timely information into the public debate.
