The International Bureau of Education (IBE) is an academic institute directed toward empowering educational activities in the field. Since 1969, the IBE has been an integral part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), while retaining wide intellectual and functional autonomy. In 1999, the IBE became the UNESCO institute responsible for educational contents, methods, and teaching/learning strategies through curriculum development. Currently, the IBE works toward achieving Education for All, aiming to ensure that Education for All contributes to living together in peace, to development, and to justice.
