The British Council

The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide. Working in over 100 countries around the world, we do this by:

1. Developing a wider knowledge of the UK and the English language
2. Improving cultural and educational understanding, relationships and co-operation between the UK and countries around the world
3. Changing lives around the world through access to UK education, skills, qualifications, culture and society, and
4. Attracting people who matter to our future to engage with the UK’s vibrant cultural and arts scene, education opportunities and diverse, modern, open society.

British Council Bangladesh and Pakistan manage a range of activities that sit within four strategic business units (SBUs): English, Arts, Education, and Society. We provide educational opportunities, build the capacity of educators, give voice to young people, strengthen links between universities, and develop cultural understanding through leadership training and education. We are committed to a brighter future for Pakistan and Bangladesh through working with the diaspora. This is in recognition of the close cultural, social and economic links that tie the populations of the two countries and their diasporas in the UK together.
