International Education Bureau (BIE)
BIE was founded in 1925 as a private institution & gained inter-governmental status in 1929. When UNESCO came
into being in 1946, it began working closely with BIE. In 1969, BIE merged into UNESCO. The primary conference of BIE is
its International Education Conference, which has met every 1-3 years since 1932. No meetings were held between 1939 and
1946 due the war.
