The Goldman Sachs Foundation and Asia Society are seeking applications for the 2007 Goldman Sachs Foundation Prizes for Excellence in International Education.  The prize program was created in 2003 to raise awareness of the growing importance of international knowledge and skills for U.S. students and annually awards prizes totaling $150,000 in five different categories.  We are pleased to announce that this year we are expanding our State category to also include the 100 largest school districts. 

Students, parents, businesses and political leaders agree that international knowledge and skills are all-important if the United States is to remain a leader in the knowledge economy of the 21st Century.

But how do we turn this vision of an internationally literate generation into reality? This webpage focuses on several key school reform issues and specifically where international education can be incorporated as a part of America's ongoing agenda to improve our education system. In most cases, this site will examine innovative community-based programs and how they can inform--and in some cases improve-- state and national policy.
