About The China Education Initiative
Established in 2008, China Education Initiative (CEI) is an innovative non-profit organization taking a unique approach to eliminating educational inequity in China by enlisting the US and China’s most promising future leaders in the effort.
Through the institution of a US-China Teaching Fellows program, CEI meets the pressing need for exceptional teachers in China’s understaffed low-income schools, while fostering a cross-cultural constituency of young leaders positioned to advance the cause of educational equity and effect long-term systemic change.
CEI is the first and only organization to partner young leaders from China and the US in a long-term service initiative. Placed in four-person cross-cultural teams (2 Chinese + 2 Americans) at their host schools, CEI’s Fellows share profound and enduring experiences that will shape the long-term trajectory of Sino-US relations, and ultimately produce shared solutions to as yet unsolved problems.
