The strategy is designed to strengthen US education and advance its international priorities. It aims to promote the value and necessity of a world-class education, including global competencies for all students; international benchmarking and applying lessons learned from other countries; and education diplomacy and engagement.

 

Initial public commentary notes that while the strategy offers few specifics on how it plans to achieve these goals, it is a positive signal that the Department recognises this is important.
