Education Delegations to the United States
Beginning in 1981, the National Committee has administered a program on behalf of the United States Department of Education to bring delegations of education officials and administrators from across China to the United States. Twice each year, participants have the opportunity to observe the challenges facing the American education system and how institutions across the country are dealing with them. Funded by the Department of Education and the Chinese Ministry of Education, these trips, along with the reciprocal visits of American educators to China under the auspices of the Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad, strengthen educational ties between our two countries and build mutual understanding of how we teach future generations.
Outcomes:
In Spring 2014, the National Committee on United States-China Relations welcomed a delegation focusing on American higher education and international student services. The delegation members received briefings from officials at the U.S. Department of Education, state government agencies and related non-governmental organizations. They also visited public and private colleges and universities. The program took them to Washington, D.C.; several cities in North Carolina, and San Francisco.
