RegionalEducational is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering regional coordination in education. It partners with regional education authorities, school networks, and policy makers to align curricula, standards, and resource allocation across districts with the aim of reducing regional disparities and improving learning outcomes for students. The organization emphasizes data-driven planning and shared accountability.

Founded in 2004 by educators, researchers, and government officials, RegionalEducational grew from a pilot project into an international platform that supports cross-border and cross-district collaboration. Its early focus was on data collection and benchmarking, expanding to program design, professional development, and policy advisory services.

Programs and services include research and analytics, policy guidance, and the development of regional action plans. The organization hosts professional development for teachers and administrators, maintains regional dashboards to monitor progress, and coordinates joint procurement, resource sharing, and pilot initiatives that test new instructional models and assessment approaches.

Governance is provided by a board of directors with representation from member regions, supported by regional advisory councils. Funding comes from member dues, government grants, and philanthropic grants. RegionalEducational emphasizes transparency, evaluation, and public reporting of outcomes to ensure accountability.

Impact evaluations report improvements in cross-district collaboration and access to shared resources in several regions, though results vary and some regions face challenges preserving local autonomy. Critics argue that regional structures can introduce bureaucracy and risk overlooking local needs, underscoring the importance of ongoing local input.
