Ceibal en Inglés is a programme designed to teach English to children in state schools in Uruguay. The British Council has collaborated in this innovative initiative with Ceibal since 2012, playing a crucial role in transforming the educational landscape in Uruguay over the past decade.
With a positive impact on over 280,000 children in state schools, the programme has effectively addressed the shortage of English teachers in the country through video conferencing.
This programme not only provides a solution for the shortage of teachers, but also lays the groundwork for a long-term transformation in the education system.
Its success can be credited to the fruitful long-term collaboration between the public and private sectors, continuous technological innovation, and ongoing evaluation. It stands out as a global model of best practices in utilising educational technology to address the challenges in education.
