Center for International Education
International development for educational institutions.
The Center for International Education (CIE) engages in implementation and research opportunities in the areas of international development for educational institutions and systems—especially in conflict or crisis contexts, professional development and capacity building, education policy and leadership, nonformal/popular adult education, and internationalizing U.S. education.
CIE brings a set of values and principles to all its work. They are applied as is possible while respecting local cultures and structures. Our principles include that education systems should:
- be community based and participatory
- blend formal and nonformal education methods as appropriate
- give priority to educating women and girls
- link education to the values and goals of local cultures & communities
- deliver education support in emergency and crisis situations
