Through the institution of a US-China Teaching Fellows program, CEI meets the pressing need for exceptional teachers in China's understaffed low-income rural schools, while fostering a 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 pair outstanding graduates from top universities in the US and China in a long-term service initiative.
