Mission:

Proposed by Governor Deval Patrick and overwhelmingly supported by the state legislature, the Executive Office of Education was established on March 10, 2008. The office's mission is clear: to foster strong and seamless connections between the myriad state agencies and departments responsible for providing all Commonwealth students with a public education that will create the best possible opportunities for academic, social and civic success. In partnership with the Commissioners and Departments of Early Education and Care, Elementary and Secondary Education, Higher Education, the University of Massachusetts system, state colleges and community colleges we are committed to advancing actions and initiatives that will improve achievement for all students, close persistent achievement gaps, and create a 21st century public education system that prepares students for higher education, work and life in a world economy and global society.
