The National Association of Education Policy and Administration (ANPAE) is a civil association of public utility and academic nature in the field of education policy and management, which brings together researchers, teachers and students of higher education; managers and technicians of education systems; and teachers and headmasters of schools and other social spaces for education and citizen training. Founded in 1961 by university professors of school administration and comparative education, ANPAE has established itself over the decades as a leading civil society organisation in the field of public policy and education governance.
