This week marks International Education Week, an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.

“At the Department of State, we see international education as a core component of our diplomacy. This is because, in the work we do every day, we see how vital it is that young people absorb what true international education teaches. how to think critically, the importance of civility, and a willingness to respond to contrary opinions with hard questions – not bitter denials or an insistence on dogma.” - Secretary Kerry on International Education Week.
