International education

International education is the practice and/or study of international cooperation and aid among countries, including the exchange of students, teachers, and researchers between countries. International education is connected to comparative education.

International Education: A well-rounded and un-biased curriculum which includes a strong focus in the cultures, languages, environmental situations, governments, relations, political affairs, religions, geography, and history of the world. This with the application of International theory; such as Liberalism, Realism, Power Transition theory, Long Cycle theory, etc, to these focus areas in order to better understand international phenomena best describes "International Education." In addition, and paramount to the above, a curriculum in which there is a strong emphasis on the importance of this knowledge, which serves as a catalyst to future international understanding and success throughout the high school, college and professional years.
