The British Council English and School Education Scholarships Scheme 2026 offers 40 fully funded scholarships for experienced teachers to pursue a part-time, online Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). The programme is specifically designed to strengthen English language teaching capacity and support education systems across participating countries, including Ghana, Kenya, Türkiye, Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka. It allows teachers to continue working while upgrading their qualifications. The scholarship provides full tuition coverage, removing financial barriers, and includes a two-week study visit to the United Kingdom, with travel costs and a stipend covered. During the programme, participants gain advanced teaching knowledge, modern classroom strategies, and exposure to global best practices in English education, helping them improve learning outcomes in their schools and communities. Applicants are expected to be experienced teachers committed to improving English education and capable of balancing work with part-time study. The programme also offers opportunities for professional networking, collaboration with international educators, and long-term career growth.
