Grant to give Wales’ young people a wider world view
The IEP aims to spread the knowledge and skills necessary for young people in Wales to actively contribute to a global society.
Utilising a new grant, the three year programme will be focussed on areas of greatest impact on the learner. Areas of activity which could be covered by the IEP include, international school linking; joint curriculum projects; language learning, international professional development, raising awareness of the Welsh language abroad, and skills development.
Through these activities, the IEP also supports the delivery of Wales’ Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship agenda.
Leighton Andrews said:
“I have been greatly impressed by recent developments in Welsh schools which use an international dimension to tackle key aspects of learning.
“We must continue to seek out effective practice from around the world in areas such as literacy, numeracy and the link between low attainment and socio-economic status, and transfer what works to the Welsh classroom.
“The development of a single international programme with an emphasis on partnership delivery will be simpler and more responsive to the needs of learners.”
