The Education Development Center (EDC) is a global nonprofit organization to improve education, promote health, and expand economic opportunity across the United States and in more than 80 other countries. EDC headquarters are in Waltham, Massachusetts, and main offices in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago. EDC has 1,400 employees worldwide.
EDC uses technology, most notably radio, to provide educational opportunities for hard to reach learners. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Liberia, EDC and its partners used radio to provide lessons to students whose schools were closed due to the disease.[7]
Research conducted by EDC on teen smoking has been cited by communities and states as they consider raising the age to purchase tobacco to 21.[8][9] EDC also works to improve the knowledge base in early childhood development.[10]
Twice named in The Boston Globe’s 'Top Places to Work',[11] EDC maintains a staff composed of scientists, researchers, mathematicians, educators, and health and technology specialists. Staff expertise includes research, training, policy, curriculum and materials development, as well as education technology, and their activities range from small seed projects to large-scale national and international initiatives.
