Education

PCG helps educational institutions to maximize resources, achieve their performance goals, and improve student outcomes. We combine nearly 25 years of public sector management consulting experience with significant educational expertise and state-of-the-art technology to improve education processes and promote effective decision making that transforms school data into meaningful results.

PCG is a leading provider of consulting and technology solutions to support the organization of psychological and pedagogical assistance at schools. We gained our expertise through nearly 25 years of cooperation with schools and local governments in the U.S., during which time we assisted with the implementation of the special education reform, the development of efficient practices, and the establishment of strategic processes.

Since January 2010, we have been actively engaged with policy and school leaders to monitor the legislative changes in the area of psychological and pedagogical assistance at schools implemented by the Ministry of National Education. We have gained an in-depth understanding of the new legislation in the area of special education and are well positioned to guide schools through an implementation to meet the goals of the legislation. In collaboration with a team of experts from Poland and the U.S., we have developed an offer of professional consulting services coupled with an innovative technology application to structure and sustain effective management of the organizational changes to support students with special needs at any school, regardless of its type and level.
