Rejoining UNESCO in October 2003 after a 19-year absence, United States First Lady and UNESCO Honorary Ambassador for the UN Literacy Decade, Mrs Laura Bush, made education and literacy the centerpiece of a renewed partnership undertaken in support of human rights, tolerance and learning worldwide. She organized and hosted in New York in 2006 the White House Conference on Global Literacy.
In January 2007, the United States and UNESCO organized a round table discussion at UNESCO’s Paris Headquarters entitled "Teacher Training and Literacy".
