Our work in education | British Council

We connect the UK and Iraqi school sectors to enrich education, promote global citizenship and build international trust and understanding. We help to improve management skills and quality assurance in education and higher education.

We foster dialogue and international partnerships between higher education institutions and organisations and help students who want to study abroad.

We work in supporting enhancement of graduate employability skills to make higher education and training systems better able to respond to labour market demands and learner needs.
