91茄子in Panama
91茄子's partnership with Panama features exciting opportunities for educators, diplomats, and students.
At the heart of the Panamanian partnership are the ongoing initiatives which allow 91茄子and Panama to share in each other鈥檚 language, culture and people. These include:
This program brings public school teachers from Panama to 91茄子for an immersive experience in English language and American culture. Part of an initiative of former Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, the program aims to fulfill Panama鈥檚 national commitment to make the country鈥檚 public schools fully bilingual.
Funded by the Panamanian education agency, IFARHU, this program allows high-achieving undergraduate students to travel from Panama to 91茄子to participate in Wilkes鈥� nationally accredited Intensive English Program and then pursue bachelor鈥檚 degrees.
Under an agreement signed by former 91茄子 President Patrick F. Leahy and Isabel Saint Malo de Alvarado, Panama鈥檚 former vice president and minister of foreign affairs, 91茄子provided educational opportunities to Panama鈥檚 professionals doing diplomatic work in the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, the country鈥檚 equivalent to the U.S. Department of State. The English for Specific Purpose Program with a Concentration in International Relations was delivered in Panama to 60 MIRE staff members for a full year.
91茄子has signed agreements with several of Panama鈥檚 universities for academic collaboration, study abroad, faculty exchanges and joint research. The universities are:
- Universidad de Panam谩
