A message from our Country Director, Mark Howard
It is an honour to lead the British Council in Egypt, one of the longest-standing offices in our global network. For 88 years, we have worked alongside partners in Egypt and the UK, creating opportunities for people to learn, connect and exchange ideas through Education, English, Arts and Culture.
This long history gives us much to be proud of, but it also encourages us to look ahead. Egypt has a young, ambitious population, and our work continues to focus on supporting the next generation through education, skills, international connections and opportunities to engage with the issues shaping their future.
Our partnerships are at the heart of this work. We work closely with government ministries, schools, universities, cultural institutions and communities across Egypt, from supporting teachers and strengthening UK-Egypt higher education links, to creating opportunities for young people through our climate and cultural programmes.
English and examinations also remain an important part of our work. Through our teaching, qualifications and extensive network of partner schools and examination centres, we continue to help learners across Egypt access education and opportunities both locally and internationally.
Across everything we do, our aim remains simple, to bring people together and create lasting connections between Egypt and the UK.
We are always open to new opportunities for collaboration and look forward to connecting with partners, communities and people across Egypt as we continue to build on this relationship.
Mark Howard
Country Director, British Council Egypt
