Title: Exchange Visitor Program--Teachers 
Abstract:

The Department amends existing regulations governing the teacher category of the Exchange Visitor Program. The amendments clarify the duration of program participation, amend eligibility requirements with a reduction from three to two years of full-time teaching experience, introduce a required cultural component, and propose the implementation of a two-year bar for repeat participation to foster the purpose of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 ("Fulbright-Hays Act"). These changes enhance the integrity and programmatic effectiveness of the teacher category.
