Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education
About
The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education, known as MBAE, is a nonprofit that brings business leaders into the effort to improve public education in Massachusetts. Its members use their leadership to drive education improvements that widen opportunity and better align what students learn with the demands of the 21st century economy. The organization produces reports and recommendations on the issues it sees as most pressing for schools.
Current priorities include making sure all students read by third grade, after only 42 percent of the state’s third graders scored proficient in reading on the 2024 MCAS. MBAE also promotes career pathways and industry-recognized credentials, strategies to address pandemic learning loss, durable skills such as critical thinking and collaboration, and stronger STEM education, including expanded computer science and P-TECH high schools.
