The British Council's updated (2026) position outlines our commitment to promoting inclusive, high-quality education which is contextually grounded and responsive to learners’ linguistic realities. We will be formally launching the paper globally at an online event at 10am (UK time) on 6th May 2026.
The online event will be an opportunity to consider approaches to languages and, more specifically, the role of English within education systems. During the session, we will share the core messages of our updated position and there will be an expert panel discussion featuring a range of global speakers and perspectives, as well as an opportunity for discussion.
The paper itself can be consulted on our website and you can sign up for the event here.
