Introduction - Taiwan membership shceme - Taiwan subs - British Council

	introduction

Although British Council Taipei works closely with Education UK Partnership (formerly ECS) Manchester on operational and policy matters, education promotion activities in Taiwan are completely self-funded and independent. What this means is that Taiwan runs an independent membership scheme, separately from EUKP. Our education promotion work is funded entirely from revenue generated through services and subscriptions under this scheme. Policy matters with regard to the scheme in Taiwan are managed by the Taiwan Panel, which consists of elected representative from the subscribership, from the HE, EFL, School and FE sectors, as well as senior figures from the British Council. There are currently over 100 subscribers from all sectors in the Taiwan Education Promotion Scheme.

Annual Subscription Period

The period of subscription is ONE YEAR: from 1 April to 31 March. After the end of the subscription period, your subscription will be renewed automatically unless we receive a written notification from you requesting otherwise, by 01 April 2011.

Benefits

Membership of the Taiwan Education Promotion Scheme entitles subscribers to access a wide range of services, designed to support and work in partnership with UK institutions from all sectors interested in marketing themselves in Taiwan.
