Scholarship for English teacher to visit UK

The Bell Sri Lanka Scholarship has been created to give a Sri Lankan teacher or educational manager an opportunity to attend a two- week, all expenses paid English language programme at Bell Bedgebury Language Centre in the UK.

It also builds on Bell's previous charitable work in Sri Lanka, where money raised by friends of Bell from around the world went towards the building of two pre-schools in the tsunami-hit areas of Koholankala and Mahawelikada-ara.

Promoting the scholarship locally is Gateway, a Sri Lanka organisation which produces educational programmes that meet international standards.

To apply, one has to download an application form from either www.gatewayworldwide.com or www.bell worldwide.com/aboutBell/scholarshipsSriLanka.asp. Closing date for receipt of applications is March 17.
