CELE - Centre for Effective Learning Environments

The OECD Centre for Effective Learning Environments (CELE, formerly OECD Programme on Educational Building) promotes the exchange and analysis of policy, research and experience in all matters related to educational building. The planning and design of educational facilities – schools, colleges and universities – has an impact on educational outcomes which is significant but hard to quantify. Building and running those facilities accounts for a substantial part of public educational expenditure in OECD countries.
