The division does this by increasing both the demand and the supply for global competence and knowledge about Asia, while promoting equity and excellence in education. **Demand for global competence is increased by sharing best practices from around the world by connecting schools in the United States to schools in Asia, as well as organizing a series of Asia-Pacific Forums on Education in China, India, and the United States to discuss the challenges of globalization to education.

Web Resources provide a broad range of background knowledge about Asia, curriculum materials, video and audio resources, and other materials to support education about Asia and the world found online at www.asiasociety.org/education.
