NPE fights for better, stronger public schools.

We vigorously oppose Betsy DeVos’ privatization agenda.

NPE connects activists within and between states. It builds coalitions of people who resist privatization of public schools, high-stakes testing, and corporate invasions of student privacy.

This is our work:

We believe that our society must invest more in its children; that schools should be equitably funded; that teachers should be well-prepared professionals and should be respected and paid as professionals; that all children deserve an excellent education and a curriculum that includes the arts, physical education, history, civics, literature, foreign languages, mathematics, and science; that every school should have small classes, a library with trained librarians; a school nurse; a psychologist and social worker; well-maintained facilities; up-to-date technology, accessible to all students; that public schools should be democratically controlled, academically and financially transparent. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to play an instrument, to perform in an orchestra or a jazz band or a string quartet or alone, to dance in a group or alone, to act in plays, to sing in a chorus, to paint and draw and sculp and engage in whatever artistic expression interests them.

We believe in our teachers and principals. We admire and respect their work.

Help us in our work, as we fight for better public schools for every child.
