Every two years the Bell Schools in the UK offer one Frank Bell scholarship to a Cuban teacher to attend the Summer School - a several weeks programme for English teachers that gives teachers and trainers the opportunities to gain experiences from good quality courses concerned with the Teaching of English Language.

You may want to find out more by contacting Yania Lucas.

The Institute for Applied Language Studies (IALS) at Edinburgh University offers a number of scholarships for Cuban teachers of English, over a six week period in July/August. The British Council promotes these awards in association with MINVEC in Cuba, and pays for the travel expenses of the successful candidates.

IALS scholarships have been granted this year to Osmany Gordillo, English teacher and head of Department of the Pedagogical University of Ciego de Avila, and Ana Victoria Rodriguez, English teacher at Holguin University, who will visit Edinburgh in July and August. Congratulations!
