Good Practice in Schools

Race Equality should permeate all areas of school life

The DFID Global School Partnerships promotes partnerships between schools in the UK and schools in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The programme provides advice and guidance, professional development opportunities and grants to schools that are using school partnerships as a means for developing a global dimension within their curriculum. There is also further information on Grant Preparation Seminars which will cover two types of grants, Reciprocal Visit and Global Curriculum Projects.
