Director of Programmes, British Council, Nigeria, Mrs. Louisa Waddingham, said fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools, as it enables young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need to live and work as global citizens. “The ISA award is really important to the British Council because for many years, we have worked with schools and supporting the education systems globally. “The ISA really recognises how schools develop their young people to be global citizens, so that they can think globally and act locally. School, Lagos, Mrs. Omolara Adedugbe, stressed that receiving the award is a great achievement, but sustaining the quality that resulted to the award is another bigger challenge.
