Bangladeshi Students See The Work Of Welsh Schools

International students have been taking a look at the work of schools around Newport as part of their studies at University of South Wales (USW). ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The International MA students – including MA Education (Innovation in Learning & Teaching) students sponsored by the Ministry of Primary Education in Bangladesh – are spending time in local schools as part of their course. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

During the visit they were welcomed to Coed Eva Primary School by head teacher Gill Ellis to see the school Nativity Play, and made a number of visits to Pillgwenlly Primary School, under the guidance of head teacher Kath Bevan. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“The welcome our international students have received from staff and pupils in local schools has been tremendous,” said Dr Shirley Egley, Head of Professional Learning & Post-compulsory Education at USW. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We all have so much to learn from each other. We are looking forward to developing this work through further international collaboration in the new year.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
