International Educational Policy

International Education Policy Initiative: Following the April 2000 Presidential Memorandum on International Educational Policy, the U.S. Departments of State and Education began a partnership aimed at preparing American Citizens for a global environment while continuing to attract and educate future leaders from abroad. See Strengthening the U.S. Government's Leadership in Promoting International Education, December 2000. As part of this effort, the two departments sponsor an annual International Educational Week in November.

The Interagency Working Group on U.S. Government-Sponsored International Exchanges & Training recommends measures for improving the coordination, efficiency, and effectiveness of United States Government-sponsored international exchanges and training. Its Annual Reports on International Exchanges & Training Activities, including regional reports, may be found here, as well as a list of Non-Governmental Organizations Involved in International Exchanges & Training.

ECA/A/S/A provides funding for Open Doors, the Institute of International Education's annual census of the international academic community in the U.S. and of U.S. students studying abroad.

Others' Open Doors: A study of the international education activities of other countries, November 2000.

NAFSA: Association of International Educators' analysis of the economic impact of educational exchange and its International Education Factsheet are useful documents for understanding the shape and context of international exchanges.
