Membership Benefits

The NEA is a neutral and independent organisation - the only education body that has no vested interests and is focused solely on improving education systems for the benefit of children, young people, and lifelong learners. Members of FED share this mission and passion.

Membership is based on the original meaning of the word ‘affiliate’ and means that you would belong to a group. NEA membership promotes belonging and inclusion and encourages all stakeholders and education bodies to become part of the collective work.

Below you can find out more about the benefits of joining the NEA and the different ways to be a member.
