English Connects is a programme that connects African youth and the future generation of leaders with the UK through English. It aims to improve the quality of English language teaching and learning, particularly in French and Portuguese speaking countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), thus creating opportunities to enable young people to increase their potential to study and improve their employability and networks.
Working with governments, the private sector, young entrepreneurs, future leaders, educators and learners in formal and non-formal education, the programme aims to reach and impact a wide audience through face to face interaction, media and digital channels.
The programme will continue to connect UK ELT providers, institutions, media and educational technology agencies with targeted countries, showcasing UK expertise, creativity and innovation in education, aiming to build trust and new partnerships.
