In order to govern various academies established by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Church created the General Church Board of Education in 1888. Today the Church Educational System (CES) is governed by the Church Board of Education for seminaries, institutes, and elementary and secondary schools, and by boards of trustees for each of the institutions of higher education. Board members include the First Presidency, three members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Senior President of the Seventy, the Relief Society general president, and the Young Women general president.
