Our work in education

We connect the UK's school sector to others around the world to enrich education, promote global citizenship and build international trust and understanding. We foster dialogue and international partnerships between Higher Education institutions and organisations. We also help students who want international study experience.

People from all over India learn English with us at a teaching centre. Our resources engage adults and kids globally, and provide valuable support for English teachers.
