Foreign Students of Social Work: Results of Their Professional Training - Evaluation of the Benefits Derived and Difficulties Experienced by Thirty Students, 1952-1957 at Fordham University School of Social Service
Abstract
Although what is said in this paper may apply in a general way to all exchange programs, it has special significance to the student exchange program relating to social work studies. Social work is a profession dealing with social problems and human relations. Problems of social nature exist all over the globe; social workers who are well prepared to meet these problems with their knowledge and skills, will aid in securing better human relations for all people.The student exchange programs play an important part in achieving better human relations all over the world. They are a definite step in the right direction toward helping countries in which cultural, social or economic development lags behind. These exchanges of goods, values and services can in the end defeat poverty and want because they give freely to the peoples of the world the means to improve their way of life. We should not however, overestimate exchange programs, but rather we must see them in their proper perspective.
