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; advocating for women and girls regarding educational issues, including the interpretation and implementation
of Title IX; and monitoring the work of Congress and federal agencies on education policies and programs.
The National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education
is a nonprofit organization formed to educate the public about issues concerning
equal rights for women and girls in education; to monitor the enforcement
and administration of current legislation related to equal rights for women
and girls in education; to perform and publish research and analysis of
issues concerning equal rights for women and girls in education, and to
take the steps necessary and proper to accomplish these purposes.
