History
The organization was founded in 1921 as the New Education Fellowship by a small group of progressive educationists and liberal thinkers. The group included Beatrice Ensor and the members were heavily involved with the British Theosophical Society and the Theosophical Educational Trust. The New Education Fellowship grew into a national and then international organization, with local sections in many countries worldwide, and was re-named the World Education Fellowship in 1966. Although the Fellowship has embraced a wide range of individual philosophies, the central focus has been on child-centred education, social reform through education, democracy, world citizenship, international understanding and the promulgation of world peace. Many famous thinkers and educationists have been involved with the Fellowship and it has forged close links with academic institutions, including the Institute of Education, University of London, and with international organizations, especially UNESCO.
