About International Education Week
"Education is a shared value among all our nations. And it is the key to progress and development—the development of a region, a nation, and an individual life."
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, 2005
International Education Week is observed across the United States and around the world each November the week before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. This celebration was founded in 2000 as a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education in their efforts to promote programs that prepare U.S. Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
