Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to facilitate links between British and Commonwealth schools through the use of digital technology.

The Department does not directly facilitate school links. Through its Schools Online website, the British Council facilitates a number of school linking programmes, including in partnership with the Commonwealth Secretariat, ‘the Commonwealth Class’ which is a programme of activities, teaching resources, and events to connect schools and young people across the globe.
