We advocate to change the role of data to ensure that data works for everyone navigating their education and workforce journeys.

Individuals, families, educators, communities, and policymakers must have the information they need to foster successful journeys through education and the workforce.

Education Data 101

Data is one of the most powerful tools to inform, engage, and create opportunities for individuals along their journey through education and into the workforce.

The Data Quality Campaign (DQC) is the only national nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to ensuring that data works for everyone.

We understand that individual journeys through education and into the workforce are unique—and believe that individuals, families, educators, communities, and policymakers deserve the benefit of data that supports them along the way.
