Military Child Education Coalition

Our Focus The work of the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) is focused on ensuring quality educational opportunities for all military children affected by mobility, family separation, and transition. A 501(c)(3) non-profit, world-wide organization, the MCEC performs research, develops resources, conducts professional institutes and conferences, and develops and publishes resources for all constituencies. Why Our Efforts Are Essential Military children generally move six to nine times during their K-12 school years. Many make multiple moves during high school years alone, some even during their senior year. In addition to giving up friends and routines, students must deal with other frustrations as they move across state lines or even from school to school, such as: academic standards and courses, access to programs, promotion and graduation requirements, programs for children with special needs, and transfer and acceptance of records.
