Global School Partnerships (GSP) promotes partnership between schools in the UK and schools in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
In Nepal, we promote sustainable, equity based and educational partnerships between schools in UK and schools in Nepal
Global School Partnerships are a powerful, enjoyable and exciting way of bringing global issues into the lives of young people, their teachers, families and local communities. The programme aims to motivate young people’s commitment to a fairer, more sustainable world.
GSP supports partnerships that promote global education through the curriculum. Support and guidance is provided to teachers and grants to schools to make the most of a school partnership as a learning tool. Funding is available for visits between partner schools to enable them to develop curriculum projects together based on global themes.
- Reciprocal Visit grants are for partnerships that are laying the foundations for long term collaborative work that will embed a global dimension in the schools’ curricula.
- Global Curriculum Project grant enable well established partnerships to further develop joint curricular activities with a global dimension theme.
- Local Authority grant are designed to create international relationships that can broker and support partnerships with a focus on global education.

The GSP programme caters to all pre-primary, primary and secondary schools of Nepal. The programme has reached out to various districts of the country including Bajura, Kailali, Surkhet, Argakhachi, Kaski, Rupandehi, Chitwan, Dhading, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Makhwanpur, Morang, Lumjung, Rukum, Kanchanpur, Kavre and Solukhumbu. As of March 2011, 145 schools are currently in partnership with schools in the UK.
As part of a consortium of organizations working in the field of school linking – British Council, VSO, UKOWLA, Cambridge Education Foundation – the British Council implements the Global School Partnerships (GSP) programme in Nepal.
The programme aims to motivate young people’s commitment to a fairer, more sustainable world. “We have been in partnership with the Eyton Church Primary School in Wales for the past two years. This partnership has been extremely helpful in creating new teaching and learning methods in class. Out children enjoy developing projects together with their friends in UK,” says Shreeman Gurung, head teacher of Paramount Public School in Pokhara. “Through these projects, our students now have knowledge about different cultures and lifestyle of people on the other side of the globe,” adds Dil Maya Gurung, the primary coordinator.
