About

About Asia Society Education: Asia Society Education is committed to our mission to develop global competence in students, young leaders, and educators as the foundation for understanding between people in the US, the Asia Pacific region, and throughout the world. Our vision is that in an interconnected global era, all youth from all countries and cultures will have the capacity to create, participate in, and benefit from a peaceful and prosperous world. We accomplish this by offering a variety of different resources and initiatives:

Global Education

For over 18 years, Asia Society Education, through initiatives under the Center for Global Education, has partnered with leaders and institutions worldwide to tackle one of the most critical education challenges today: how to educate all students for employability and citizenship in a global era. Our latest publication, the 2nd Edition of Educating for Global Competence: Preparing our Students to Engage the World (2022) includes many new authentic examples of integrating global competence into curriculum, instruction, and assessment across subject areas.
