✨🔬UK Deputy PM @DavidLammy met students and teachers showcasing innovative #LearningSectors projects, an international #STEM programme by the British Council, supported by @F1. Over 20,000 students across 22 states have connected with UK classrooms to learn together.
Our International School Awards celebrate schools' efforts to include international work as part of their curriculum. The programme supports schools in fostering an international ethos throughout their school and embedding it within the curriculum.
We welcomed teachers and pupils from schools across the UK to receive their awards at Westminster, kindly hosted by @Uma_Kumaran MP, who is the local MP for our HQ in Stratford. We were also joined by around 30 MPs who took the time to congratulate schools from their constituencies.
Well done to all the successful schools.
