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. We focus on three portfolios: College and Career Pathways, Bridges to Postsecondary, and Data Impact and Leadership.
