In the 21st century, the interconnectedness of the world has had a profound impact on education. As globalization continues to shape how we think, work, and learn, international partnerships in education have become an essential vehicle for academic growth and cultural exchange. These partnerships foster cross-border collaboration, create opportunities for knowledge-sharing, and enable students and educators to experience a diverse array of academic and professional environments. As nations recognize the importance of preparing students for an increasingly globalized workforce, universities, schools, and educational institutions are expanding their horizons through international collaborations.
