Education Digest

Hello everyone The British Council brings you best wishes for the New Year and the Republic Day as you enjoy the return of sunshine and make exciting plans for the coming year. Our plans are aligned on delivering the historic India- UK Vision 2035 and we are delighted that the new International Education Strategy by the UK government released last week focuses on partnerships, research, TNE and sustainable, mutually beneficial mobility. The essence of the strategy is captured in the executive summary, as it recognises that "Education is one of the UK's most important global assets, connecting people, driving shared prosperity, and shaping a more peaceful, innovative, and inclusive future." There are lots of international education events in India in February – do come and say hello if you catch us at the QS event in Goa where we are convening panels and workshops on Creative Economy, with our global Arts Director Ruth Mackenzie.
