The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education (MBAE) and the employers we represent believe that a strong community and economy is based on every child having equal access to a high quality education. For three decades, MBAE has effectively advanced state education policies that have significantly improved our public schools. MBAE, together with our partners and a growing list of business Affiliates across the state, is working to eliminate racial and socio-economic achievement gaps that prevent far too many of our most disadvantaged students from realizing their dreams and full potential. By advocating for improvements in our schools and greater alignment with real world expectations, MBAE seeks to ensure students are future ready and helps create a robust, well-educated, diverse workforce pipeline that fuels growth in our companies and state economy.
