    READING
    Student exchange programme
    A student exchange programme is a programme in which students from a
    secondary school or university study abroad at one of their institution´s partner.
    5 A student exchange programme may involve international travel, but does not
    necessarily require the student to study outside of his or her home country. For
    example, the National Student Exchange programme (NSE) offers placements
    throughout the United States and Canada.
    According to the United States Federal Government, foreign exchange programmes
    10 exist to provide practical training and employment and the sharing of history, culture,
    and traditions of the participants' home country.
    The term "exchange" means that a partner institution accepts a student, but does
    not necessarily mean that the students have to find a counterpart from the other
    institution with whom to exchange. Exchange students live with a host family or in a
    15 designated place such as a hostel, an apartment, or a student lodging. Costs for the
    programme vary by the country and institution. Participants trust their participation
    via scholarships, loans, or self-funding.
    Student exchanges became popular after World War II and are intended to increase
    the participants' understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as improving
    20 their language skills and broadening their social horizons. Student exchanges also
    increased further after the end of the Cold War. An exchange student typically stays in
    the host country for a period of 6 to 10 months. International students or those on
    study abroad programmes may stay in the host country for several years. Some
    exchange programmes also offer academic recognition.
