British Council and Egypt Ministry of Education partnership a success
Bikya Masr Published in Bikya Masr on 19 - 03 - 2012

CAIRO: The British Council Director in Egypt, Mark Stephens, together with Egypt's Minister of Education, Dr. Gamal El Arabi, hail the success of eleven Egyptian schools. During an award ceremony that will be held on Thursday 22 March 2012 at 11 am at El Hanager theatre, Cairo Opera House, eleven Schools in Egypt will be awarded the British Council's prestigious International School Award in recognition of its work to bring the world into the classroom.
“Many congratulations to all the schools that have been successful in gaining the International School Award,” said Mark Stephens, the British Council Director in Egypt. “We're very grateful to all the schools for their excellent commitment to the enriching, creative and innovative international dimensions of teaching and learning. Their inspirational work is vital preparation for all our young people, helping them to better understand their place in the world and supporting the development of their skills in an increasingly global economy.”
The eleven Egyptian schools being awarded are the third batch of schools to receive the International School Award in Egypt. The schools are from Cairo, Beheira, Dakahlia, Ismailia, Gharbia and Port Said.
The International School Award is a badge of honor for schools that do outstanding work in international education through links with partner schools overseas. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council's work with schools, so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need to live and work as global citizens.
The International School Award is part of the British Council Global Program “Connecting Classrooms” which aims at enabling intercultural dialogue and increasing knowledge and understanding of each other's societies. This is achieved through collaborative project work on themes decided by the groups.
The Award is now available worldwide in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Lebanon, Cyprus and Pakistan as part of the British Council's Connecting Classrooms program. Around 16,000 International School Awards have been presented to successful schools around the world since the scheme began in 1999.
