Governance

Educate Together believes in setting high standards of accountability to our supporters and partners, our member schools and the general public.  Every year, Educate Together publishes audited accounts, an annual report and a list of all decisions made at the latest General Meeting of Educate Together online.

Finances

As a registered charity, the national office receives state grants which cover less than half of our operating costs, so we must generate funds from other sources to continue to do the work that we do. The maximum salary in the Educate Together national office is the CEO’s, and there are no bonuses paid. No Educate Together Director receives any remuneration whatsoever from the company. Educate Together has only one fully State-funded position, a seconded post from the Department of Education. The Educate Together Board of Directors, on behalf of the member schools of the company, is deeply grateful to its staff who perform to the highest standards and commitment.
