Education Systems Center (EdSystems) is a mission-driven policy development and program implementation center based within Northern Illinois University. We work at both the State and local levels to ensure policies are created and implemented in meaningful ways to advance racial equity and prepare more young people for productive careers and lives in a global economy.
Education leaders from Fayette and Marion Counties share how they’ve expanded education pathways in the region in the last three years, and call for statewide transferability of core education courses through the Illinois Articulation Initiative. Learn more about how you can support this effort.
