HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
In order to take part in the programme Sri Lankan schools must meet the following criteria:

The school principal should select two teachers who could communicate well in English. If they acquire good ICT skills, it will be an added advantage. These two teachers will be responsible for coordinating the partnership (communicating with the partner school, conducting meetings with other teachers involved to review projects and making future plans).
Additionally, a couple of teachers from the school with different subject expertise (e.g. Science, History, Geography, Environment Related studies, Art, Dance, Music teachers) with considerably good English Language communication skills (at least to be able to speak) must be appointed by the principal (to build a good team from the school).
The selected teachers should be committed, enthusiastic, active and willing take the partnership forward
The school principal should be aware of the Global School Partnerships programme and provide the fullest support for the teachers involved.
