Panama Bilingue is a program developed by the Panamanian government which seeks to improve public education and economic development in Panama. To this end, groups of teachers from Panama are invited to come to the United States to participate and engage in cultural experiences, including trips to local historic and cultural landmarks, and attend lectures and presentations on education, curriculum, and instruction. The outcome of this program is that these teachers will be able to take what they have learned in the United States and use this information to enhance the educational experience in their classrooms when they return to Panama.
The Office of International Studies and Programs and the English Language Institute hope to continue this partnership in order to provide a quality educational experience to future groups of international guests.
