The IBE joined UNESCO in 1969, as an international center of comparative education, where it continued to promote research in the area of comparative education and maintain educational documentation and information services... A window into the IBE's vision, mission, and tireless quest in pursuit of a world in which everyone is assured quality and relevant education.
