godine, u maju mesecu, Narodna skupština usvojila je Zakon o univerzitetu, koji je deo akademske zajednice smatrao represivnim. Kao odgovor na usvojeni Zakon, koji je simbolizovao tadašnju nepovoljnu situaciju u obrazovanju i društvu u Srbiji uopšte, nastala je Alternativna akademska obrazovna mreža (AAOM). u okviru Alternativne akademske obrazovne mreže (AAOM). U prvo vreme je delovanje COP-a bilo usmereno na aktivnosti u oblasti reforme i razvoja obrazovanja koje su bile u skladu sa AAOM-ovom misijom i ciljevima, ali se vrlo brzo ukazala potreba za znatno širim okvirom delovanja. Iz tog razloga je COP od februara 2007. godine registrovan kao samostalno pravno lice, odnosno kao udruženje građana, nastavljajući i nadograđujući rad AAOM-a.

That year 1998, in the month of May, the National Assembly adopted the Law on University, which part of the academic community considered repressive. In response to the adopted Law, which symbolized the then unfavourable situation in education and society in Serbia in general, the Alternative Academic Education Network (AAOM) was founded. Centre for Education Policy (CEP) was founded in 2005 within the Alternative Academic Educational Network (AAEN). In the beginning, the activities of CEP were directed at the area of educational reform and development, which was in compliance with AAEN mission and goals, but very soon there was a need for a much wider range of activities. For that reason, in February 2007, CEP was registered as an independent legal entity, i.e. as the association of citizens, and it continued with and expanded the activities of AAEN.
