Coalition for International Education
The Coalition for International Education is a group of more than 30 national higher education organizations, which share an interest in programs and initiatives that promote U.S. global competence, particularly those supported by the U.S. Department of Education.
The components of “global competence” range from deep expertise in the languages and cultures of other nations and regions, to basic understanding of the rest of the world and the United States’ role. Global competencies involve, among other abilities, having cross-cultural skills, foreign language proficiency and the ability to function effectively in other legal, political, economic, social and cultural environments and value systems.
The Coalition believes that international and foreign language education is key to achieving global competence. It strives for U.S. education community consensus on policies and issues affecting international and foreign language education. The Coalition informs policy makers, education and private sector officials, the public and the media about national needs in international and foreign language education.
