International Education Week (IEW), November 17-21, 2025, 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 was developed to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
