The 57-75 Education Reform Alliance

Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) is the result of two paradigm shifts concerning the Ateneo de Manila University and its role in development.  The first is the shift from the idea of the Ateneo running as an excellent school to helping others to be excellent schools themselves.  The second shift has been from an evolved appreciation of graduate programs aimed at harnessing leaders and professionals already in the field of development to help them make an impact on national development. Thus, the Center was inaugurated on 11 February  1997. Since then, ACED has extended its services to the public schools and institutions committed to enhance the country’s educational system.
