Clientele

With counsel from the GC Education Department, the Education Department staff serves and supervises two main clienteles.

• Directly: Union Education Department directors as well as boards, administrators, and the faculty of Adventist colleges and universities across the EUD territory.
• In cooperation with the Union Education Departments: Educational leaders at conference/mission levels and educators in Adventist elementary and secondary schools around the world.

Organizationally, the EUD Education Department works with the Union Education Departments in supervising Adventist colleges and universities, and ensuring that Union Education Departments achieve their objectives. In turn, the Union Education Departments work with the Conference Education Departments in supervising secondary schools, and ensuring that Conference/Mission Education Departments achieve their objectives.
