Schools across Sub‑Saharan Africa work hard to keep talented teachers, but retention is not easy. Workload, support systems and professional growth all play a big role.

Testing does not have to be scary. In fact, for children aged 6 to 11, it can actually be fun.

The Primary English Test uses colourful, child-friendly tasks to assess listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Instead of feeling like a strict exam, it feels more like a series of engaging activities. This positive approach encourages children to show off what they know without the pressure.

Visit your local British Council partner centre or https://ow.ly/YcMk50YKsb6 to find out how to book a slot for your child.

Small wins lead to big success. The Foundation English Test is not about catching you out; it is about showing you what you can do. By confirming basic skills in a supportive setting, we help learners build the self-belief they need to tackle more advanced challenges later on.

Give yourself or your child the gift of confidence today at a British Council partner centre.
