Policy Analysis for California Education

Founded in 1983 as a cooperative venture between the schools of education at UC Berkeley and Stanford University, PACE is an independent policy research center whose primary aim is to enrich education policy debates with sound analysis and hard evidence. From issues around preschooling and child development, to K-12 school finance, to higher education outreach, PACE is dedicated to defining issues thoughtfully and assessing the relative effectiveness of alternative policies and programs. PACE provides analysis and assistance to California policymakers, education professionals, and the general public. In addition to conducting research and analysis on major education policy issues, PACE initiates activities to disseminate our findings and facilitate discussion.
