THE GOLDMAN SACHS FOUNDATION PRESENTS FIVE NEW $25,000 PRIZES IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

There is an alarming gap between the growing importance of other world regions to our nation's economic prosperity and national security, and most young Americans' lack of knowledge of the world outside our borders. In response to the importance of international knowledge and skills to the nation's future, The Goldman Sachs Foundation together with Asia Society are pleased to announce the creation of five new $25,000 prizes to support creative and practical models of international education in action. The prizes will recognize schools, elementary, middle and secondary, that engage students in learning about other world regions; states that are actively promoting teaching and learning about other world regions, cultures and languages in their education system; colleges and universities that have strong international content in their teacher preparation or K-12 outreach programs; and media or technology companies and organizations that are making international content and information available to students and teachers in stimulating new ways.
