British Council launches Young Learner English Centre in Uttara
The British Council has expanded its English language teaching network with the launch of a new Young Learner English Centre at International Hope School Bangladesh, Uttara campus.
The centre has been established to provide children and teenagers aged 7–17 with greater access to high-quality English learning in northern Dhaka, complementing the existing Fuller Road centre in the south-central part of the city. This initiative addresses families' demand for shorter commutes and improved accessibility.
Led by Cambridge-qualified teachers, the British Council's courses for young learners are designed to spark creativity and imagination while developing strong communication skills. Parents will also receive structured updates to track their child's progress and celebrate learning milestones.
