A 90 Year Quest for Excellence in Education!

The IBE became the first ever intergovernmental organization in the field of education established to advance peace through education in 1929. Originally founded by a group of renowned educationalists in Geneva as a private institute in 1925, the IBE was led by the famous Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget for almost 40 years. The IBE joined UNESCO in 1969 as an international centre of excellence in comparative education. The IBE has and will continue its quest for excellence as the Global centre for curriculum and related matters.
