This report summarizes the findings of the AF1 Topical Subgroup to Snowmass 2021, which investigates beam physics and accelerator education within the accelerator frontiers (AF). The report focuses primarily on opportunities for basic accelerator and beam physics, formulated into four grand challenges. In addition, the report also studies the current status of accelerator education, outreach and diversity issues. Physics limits of ultimate beams for future colliders are also briefly discussed.
