International Education Week will be celebrated around the world November 14-18, 2016.

To help celebrate this event, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe will host an Education Fair at the Ismaili Center on November 14, 2016 from 2 to 5 pm with a range of educational organizations including: American Councils, EducationUSA, Bactria Cultural Center, Erasmus+, University of Central Asia, Aga Khan Foundation, American Corner Dushanbe, MBO Professional, and Education Agency “Multikid.”

U.S. Embassy says each organization will introduce their programs, provide information on educational opportunities, and answer questions from attendees.

International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.  This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of an effort to prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.  Exchanges are critical to developing mutual understanding and respect between the global community.
