IIE s Generation Study Abroad seeks to mobilize resources and commitments with the goal of doubling the number of U.S. students studying abroad by the end of the decade. IB educational programmes for students aged 3-19 promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century. The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. Over 4100 IB World Schools in 147 countries deliver one or more of the four IB programmes with over 1500 of those schools in the United States. Read the full article at:
