The education industry plays an increasingly important role in supporting public education by meeting the demand for products and services that both complement and supplement basic education services. These include after-school tutoring providers, school improvement and management services, charter schools, alternative education and special education services, professional development for teachers and administrators, educational content providers and suppliers, as well as rapidly growing private providers of undergraduate and graduate education. Early entrepreneurs from these organizations turned to each other for peer support, networking, professional development and advocacy and formed the Association of Educators in Private Practice (AEPP) in 1990. In 2002, the organization was renamed the Education Industry Association (EIA) to reflect the breadth of enterprises engaged in market-based education services. Today, the EIA, with over 800 corporate and individual members, is the leading professional association for private providers of education services, suppliers and other private organizations who are stakeholders in education.
