United States Ambassador to Pakistan David Hale awarded certificates of completion to 66 students from Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Pakistan who recently returned from a year-long academic exchange in the US.

Ambassador Hale also met 105 Pakistani secondary school students who will spend the academic year 2016-2017 in the US.

“I have seen how exchanges can generate new ideas, challenge old stereotypes, build mutual understanding, and spark new friendships,” Ambassador Hale said.

“Together, the American and Pakistani governments are committed to expanding our educational cooperation, fortifying Pakistan’s education system, and building connections between people,” he added.

The 171 students from all across Pakistan earned the opportunity to participate in the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Programme on the basis of written applications, English proficiency tests and interviews.

The YES Programme, funded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, gives secondary school students from 37 countries the opportunity to study at American high schools and live with American host families for one academic year.
