A new report finds that more international students are coming to the United States after a sharp drop because of the coronavirus health crisis last year. About 15 percent fewer international students studied in the U.S. or took classes from U.S. universities online during the school year that ended last spring compared to the year before. Those findings were released recently by the Institute of International Education, IIE, based in New York City in partnership with the U.S. State Department. The IIE published the yearly “Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange.” In 2021, the group found that students are coming back to the U.S. About four percent more students came to America for the 2021-2022 school year compared to last year. During a presentation Monday, the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Department of Education said the coronavirus pandemic changed educational exchange a lot. Matthew Lussenhop is the Acting Assistant Secretary for the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. He said he is hopeful about “the strength and resilience” of the world’s educational community during the last 20 months. He said the U.S. government knows how important international exchange is to building a more understanding world. “We will continue to work together to expand access to global learning and engagement opportunities for international and American students, scholars and researchers.”
