Obama Pledges Increase in Educational Exchange With Muslim World
During US President Barack Obama’s landmark speech at Cairo University last week, President Obama stated that educational exchange will play a role in the “new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.”
“On education, we will expand exchange programs and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities,” Mr. Obama said.”
President Obama also discussed investments in online education (including a new online network to foster relationships between Muslim students, and students in the US), and US internships for Muslim students.
