The British Council is the UK's leading international organisation for educational and cultural relations.

BRITISH COUNCIL MOROCCO

British Council opened in Morocco in 1960 as the the UK’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations.

We create learning opportunities for people in Morocco through the provision of quality English language learning and examinations services. We facilitate access to reliable high quality information about British education resources, training and scholarship opportunities in the UK.

We bring to Morocco varied resources and programmes of film, music, sport and literature that demonstrate the creativity, quality and modernity of British Culture.

We contribute to intercultural understanding between young people in Morocco and the UK by building networks through educational and artistic links.

Our partnership programme brings together Moroccan and British government bodies, civil society, educational and professional institutions, and individuals, to showcase British diversity and innovation and to share experience and best practice in the areas of Education, English Language Teaching, and Society.

We bring together Moroccan and British people for their mutual benefit and greater understanding.

BRITISH COUNCIL – WORLDWIDE

In the UK British Council is registered as a charity (non-profit-making organisation) and as non-political organisation which operates at arm’s length from government.

We receive an annual grant from the British Government and generate revenue selling services such as English language courses and examinations. Our income in 2004/05 was £475.5 million, of which our grant-in-aid from the British government was £172 million.

We are represented in 110 countries with headquarters in London and Manchester.
