BILLING CODE 3510–16–P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

Education Trade Mission to Indonesia 

and Vietnam 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Description 

The United States Department of 

Commerce, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. and Foreign 

Commercial Service (CS) is organizing 

an education trade mission to Indonesia 

and Vietnam, April 3–8, 2011. Led by a 

senior Department of Commerce official, 

the mission to these two countries is 

intended to include representatives 

from a variety of accredited U.S. 

education institutions. However, the 

emphasis will be on community 

colleges, intensive English language 

programs, and undergraduate programs. 

English language programs seeking to 

participate should be accredited by CEA 

(Commission on English Language 

Program Accreditation) or ACCET 

(Accrediting Council for Continuing 

Education and Training); community 

colleges and undergraduate programs 

seeking to participate should be 

accredited by one of the six regional 

institutional accreditors in the United 

States. 

The mission will introduce 

participants to potential students and 

prospective partners. Participating in 

the Education Trade Mission, rather 

than traveling to these markets 

independently, will enhance the 

schools’ ability to secure the appropriate 

meetings, especially in light of the high 

level engagement and support of U.S. 

education by the U.S. ambassadors in 

each of these countries. The mission 

will include education sector briefings, 

and a student fair at each stop with the 

options of matchmaking sessions with 

potential recruitment partners, or 

networking sessions with local schools. 

Trade mission participants will interact 

with CS education specialists as well as 

other State Department advisors and 

officers to discuss opportunities, 

challenges and marketing strategies for 

each market. 

Commercial Setting 

Vietnam 

With a population of 86 million, a 

steadily increasing per capita income, a 

booming private sector, and the high 

value the Vietnamese place on 

education, Vietnam offers significant 

opportunities to U.S. providers of 

education services. Vietnam presently 

has over 20,000 students studying 

abroad, paying about $200 million in 

tuition and fees every year. Of those, 

13,000 are studying in the U.S. With an 

increase of 46% over last year, Vietnam 

ranks 9th among countries sending 

students to the U.S. This increase is the 

6th consecutive double-digit increase in 

Vietnamese students going to the U.S. 

Notably, Vietnam ranks 3rd among 

countries sending international students 

to the U.S. to study at community 

colleges. English as a Second Language 

and English immersion programs and 

majors such as business management, 

engineering, information technologies, 

and sciences are popular among 

Vietnamese students. 

Education reform has not kept pace 

with economic development in 

Vietnam, and improving the education 

system will be crucial to sustaining 

long-term growth. Education has 

become a key feature in bilateral 

cooperation between Vietnam and the 

U.S. The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi has 

made the development of education in 

Vietnam a top priority, including 

dramatically increasing the number of 

Vietnamese students studying at U.S. 

institutions of higher learning and 

encouraging greater educational 

exchange between the U.S. and 

Vietnam. 

Indonesia 

Indonesia, as the world’s fourth 

largest nation and one of the G–20’s 

strongest economies, is a tremendous 

potential market for U.S. educational 

institutions. There are numerous Stateowned and private national and 

international high schools and prospects 

for the higher education market are 

good. Most Indonesian students are 

keen to study abroad and the U.S. has 

been one of the most desired 

destinations. 

Under President Obama’s 

U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive 

Partnership, the education sector is the 

number one priority. The U.S. Embassy 

in Jakarta has a goal to double the 

current number of Indonesian students 

studying at U.S. educational institutions 

by 2014 to 15,000. 

At present, there are over 50,000 

Indonesian students overseas, 

including, 7,692 students in the United 

States. Of these, approximately 64 

percent are pursuing undergraduate 

degrees. Indonesia ranks 16th among 

countries sending students to the U.S.

Indonesia is also a leading market for 

U.S. community colleges. In addition to 

two-and-four year programs, Indonesia 

offers a promising market for ESL. 

While English-language is commonly 

taught in most high schools, most 

Indonesian students need to attend an 

intensive English-language preparation 

class before being qualified for 

admission to undergraduate studies. 

Mission Goals 

The short term goals of the education 

trade mission to Vietnam and Indonesia 

are to (1) introduce accredited U.S. 

schools to potential students in each 

market (2) introduce these U.S. schools 

to potential partners and other industry 

representatives, and (3) inform mission 

members of local cultural, political and 

economic factors in Indonesia and 

Vietnam that will affect both student 

recruitment strategies and the 

opportunities/challenges related to 

establishing partnerships. 

Mission Scenario 

In Jakarta, the trade mission 

participants will be presented with a 

briefing by the U.S. Embassy’s 

Counselor for Commercial Affairs, the 

Senior Commercial Specialist for the 

education sector and other key U.S. 

Government and corporate officials. 

Participants will take part in an 

education fair. Participants will also 

have the option to take part in a 

matchmaking session with student 

recruitment agents or attend a 

roundtable presentation by local schools 

that wish to partner with U.S. schools. 

In Ho Chi Minh City, participants will 

take part in education sector briefings 

by Consulate officers, corporate 

executives and local education sector 

experts, and exhibit at an education fair 

for parents and students. Participants 

will also have the option to take part in 

a matchmaking session with student 

recruitment agents or attend a 

roundtable presentation by local schools 

that wish to partner with U.S. schools. 

In Hanoi, the U.S. mission members 

will be briefed by the U.S. Embassy’s 

Counselor for Commercial Affairs, the 

Senior Commercial Specialist for the 

education sector and other key U.S. 

Government officials, corporate 

executives and education experts. 

Participants will exhibit at an education 

fair for parents and students. 

Participants will also have the option to 

take part in a matchmaking session with 

student recruitment agents or attend a

At all stops, participants will have 

networking opportunities with various 

multipliers such as Education USA, 

education consultants, U.S. Indonesia 

Society, Institute of Education 

Exchange, school counselors, etc. U.S. 

participants will be counseled before 

and after the mission by a domestic 

mission coordinator. Participation in the

subjects ranging from opportunities in 

the education sectors to security; 

• A student fair in Jakarta, Ho Chi 

Minh City, and Hanoi;
