"International education exchanges help students and educators around the world to understand one another better. Together, we must respond to the challenges of poverty and hunger, climate change, public health, and economic revitalization. Education is an engine for change in all countries and for all people, including women and girls, whose potential to contribute to global progress and prosperity is enhanced when they participate in educational opportunities. Through international education exchanges, we can build bridges of respect and understanding that will connect people and enable us to work together, now and in the future for a better world."
-Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.S. secretary of state
