The
National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education (NCWGE) is a nonprofit
organization of more than 50 groups dedicated to improving educational opportunities
for girls and women. Our mission is to provide leadership in and advocate
for the development of national education policies that benefit all women
and girls. This site provides information on our coalition, current activities,
updates on relevant federal education legislation, useful resources, and
NCWGE publications.
NCWGE was formed in 1975 by representatives of national organizations concerned about the failure to issue regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. NCWGE was successful in mobilizing strong support for publication of the Title IX regulations by the then Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. NCWGE continues to be a major force in developing national education policies that benefit all women and girls, providing a valuable forum to share information and strategies to advance educational equity, advocate for women's and girls' interests on issues regarding Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and monitor federal agencies' implementation of federal education programs.
