British Council Partner School Global Network

 About The Partner Schools Global Network (PSGN)

The Partner Schools Global Network (PSGN) is the community of schools that offer a UK curriculum leading to exams such as the O level, IGCSE and A level, administered in cooperation with the British Council. These schools are located across North and Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, the Middle East beyond. 

Our aim is to offer high-quality products and services that support our leaders, teachers, learners and parents. We are also able to support Ministries of Education with reform and improvement programmes. 

For our teachers, our support includes a Quality Assurance self-assessment tool and an excellent suite of in-service teacher-training workshops for both primary and secondary teachers. For learners, we offer the PSGN ‘Your World’ global competition as well as access to the latest online educational support. 

And, for school leaders, we offer leadership training as well as excellent networking opportunities. 

 Watch this video in which Martin Lowder, our UK qualifications expert, talks a bit more about the network.

In addition, we offer the several programmes and conferences, that can be seen below.

Schools Now! Conference 2020

Schools Now! Conference 2020

Building on the success of the previous conferences in Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka, Jordan and the highly successful online conference in March 2019, we invite you to the palatial splendour of the Marriott Hotel Cairo for the Schools Now! 2020 conference.

The conference is open to school leaders and education managers from all partner schools in the British Council Partner Schools Global Network.

 

Conference Themes and Format

The themes of the 2-day conference have been developed to reflect recent developments in education practice and suggestions from participants who attended the online conference in March 2019. The British Council recognises that leaders are the engines of change within schools and that their actions have a direct impact on the performance of teachers and the outcomes of students. This conference will, therefore, focus on the role of school leaders in strengthening the capacity of their schools and teachers to equip students with the relevant skills and aptitudes necessary for study, work and everyday life. Conference theme: Developing global learners: Preparing young people for life in school and beyond Sub-themes: Internationalizing schools: the role of school leadership Global challenges for young people: facilitating intercultural engagement Collaborative learning: technology and global communities The conference will consist of a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussion, and shorter paper presentations. The working language of the conference will be English. There will be no interpretation and delegates need to be comfortable working in English

 

You will be soon receiving instruction on how to register for our exciting Schools Now! Online Conference. In the meantime, please mark your calendars and save the date!

The Your World global competition for students

Welcome to the Third Your World competition.

This year’s theme is “Natural Environment”. Contestants have submitted a short video outlining a social action project with reference to the local community and environment around them. That community could be their country, town or city, school or a group of people. The videos outline who the community is that is affected and how the issue can be resolved for the long term benefit of the community and environment.

Candidates worked in groups of five, each contestant between the ages of 14 and 17, producing a video no more than three minutes long with a phone or tablet.

The winners will be flown to London with their teacher to experience the culture of the UK!

Important Dates:

8th March 2018- Deadline for registered Schools to submit their winning entries 

21st March 2018: British Council to announce National winners (Winners in Nigeria)

28th March 2018- British Council to announce regional/global winners.

Previous year’s global competition was video-based, with our PSGN students asked to work collaboratively to make short films that are a window onto their lives in their community for people from all around the world to see. 1,295 students from 192 schools in 12 countries took part and our worthy winners are about to fly to the UK to attend a summer school for the creative arts through English – their chance to experience something of British culture.

More than 22,000 people from 73 countries have watched these inspiring videos. Follow these links to see them:
