Education Charter International is a collective initiative of Organizations, Academies, Governmental Body and Individuals to demonstrate their commitment to provisions of this Charter.

The Founder of the Charter is International Organization of Education Charter- CCLP Worldwide ( Special Consultative Status with United Nations and Institutional member UNESCO NEQMAP) which has founded an informal association in the year 1999 to promote the basic Education Charter which was developed in the spirit of UNESCO declaration of Higher Education for 21st Century.

Over the years various consultation and debates held between stakeholders of the society under the aegis of CCLP Worldwide to further develop the scope, extent and usage of the basic text of Education Charter.

During the drafting of the new charter, it was found that other actors of society are equally important to achieve the mission of sustainability and livelihood and Government and CSOs participation was included in the charter. Originally only Higher Education Institutions and society was part of the charter.

The Charter was designed to cover all major roles of various stakeholders- Higher Education Institutions, Governments, NGOs and the public to achieve the common goal of Sustainability and Livelihood.

The charter was made to complement various existing charter and code in the area of Education and sustainability.

The drafting committee has designed introductory statement of the charter which may be used to refer the whole charter.
