British Council reopens teaching centre

British Council has re-launched their teaching centre yesterday with e-learning facilities at Satmasjid Road of Dhanmondi in the capital, says a media release.

British High Commissioner Robert W Gibson inaugurated the centre that offers courses on general and professional English language skills as well as new IELTS official preparation course.

In the statement, Gibson said:“I think this teaching centre will showcase the best practice and innovation in ‘English language teaching’. I hope the students will enjoy the cutting-edge classroom learning technology and develop their professional skills through this centre of excellence.”

Education Secretary Nazrul Islam Khan and Prof Abdullah Abu Sayeed were special guests in the programme where British Council Country Director Barbara Wikhham was also present among others.

British Council works in more than 100 countries, as the UK’s international charitable organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities.

Besides the three centres in Dhaka, the organisation also functions at Chittagong and Sylhet.
