The British Council drives educational innovation through Action Research, benefiting educators worldwide

  • The British Council has established itself as a key facilitator of international educational improvement by supporting Action Research as a platform that has delivered tangible progress in schools worldwide.
  • Innovative educator–led research projects have improved teaching and learning in countries such as Pakistan, Egypt and Colombia, delivering measurable results in schools.
  • An AI–based maths project enhanced students’ understanding and performance. 80% reported that using digital platforms strengthened their problem–solving skills through active learning and critical thinking.

ISLAMABAD, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Through the Action Research programme, the British Council supports educational improvement worldwide. As the UK’s organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, it plays a key role in facilitating global progress in education.

This initiative not only provides educators with funding, mentoring, and resources to implement research findings directly in their classrooms but also fosters the exchange of best practices among schools and teaching communities. Its impact cascades through local forums and Partner School events, reaching school leaders, teachers, and ultimately students. The programme has already resulted in tangible improvements in participating schools and underscores the British Council’s commitment to evidence–based, forward–looking education.

The British Council Partner Schools’ Action Research programme supported twelve researchers from nine countries—Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ghana, Jordan, Zimbabwe, Peru, and Colombia—on projects focused on leadership, continuous professional development (CPD), and technology, addressing shared global challenges in education.

The projects revealed key insights into technology, teacher development, and leadership as drivers of educational improvement. Many focused on digital learning, AI, and online platforms, reflecting a keen global interest in technology to support education. In Colombia, 80% of students reported that digital tools improved their skills, especially in problem–solving and critical thinking. Research on CPD shows that group reflection on individually completed training leads to greater gains in teaching quality and student outcomes than isolated professional development.

Leadership was also key: in Pakistan, one of the four projects, empowered female students through academic achievement, extracurricular engagement, and leadership roles that challenge gender norms and drive community change. Across all projects, inclusive participation—from students to families and school leaders—proved essential to identifying needs and co–creating effective, lasting solutions.

The new publication Action Research for Schools: Global Stories of School Improvement presents these findings and practical solutions to help schools worldwide address similar challenges.

“Backed by the British Council’s support, four researchers in Pakistan went above and beyond—delivering meaningful change in their schools and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement,” said Maarya Rehman, Deputy Country Director, British Council Pakistan.

Building on its success, the British Council has launched the second year of the programme awarding grants to thirteen new researchers. Visit our website to learn more.

يعمل المجلس الثقافي البريطاني على تعزيز الابتكار التعليمي عبر البحث العملي، الأمر الذي من شأنه أن يعود بالنفع على المُعلمين في جميع أنحاء العالم

*لقد رسخ المجلس الثقافي البريطاني مكانته كونه جهةً رئيسيةً لتسهيل تحسين التعليم الدولي عبر دعم البحث العملي كونه منصة أحرزت تقدمًا ملموسًا في المدارس في جميع أنحاء العالم.

*لقد أدت مشروعات البحث المبتكرة التي يقودها المعلمون إلى تحسين مستوى التدريس والتعلَّم في بلدان مثل باكستان ومصر وكولومبيا، مما أدى بدوره إلى تحقيق نتائج ملموسة في المدارس.

*عزز مشروع الرياضيات القائم على الذكاء الاصطناعي من مستوى فهم الطلاب وأدائهم. كما أفاد 80% منهم أن استخدام المنصات الرقمية قد عزز مهاراتهم في حل المشكلات من خلال التعلَّم النشط والتفكير النقدي.

القاهرة، مصر, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — يدعم المجلس الثقافي البريطاني، عبر برنامج البحث العملي، تحسين التعليم حول العالم. وبوصفه المنظمة البريطانية للعلاقات الثقافية والفرص التعليمية، يلعب المجلس دورًا محوريًا في تسهيل التقدم العالمي في مجال التعليم.

لا تقتصر هذه المبادرة على توفير التمويل والتوجيه والموارد للمُعلمين لتطبيق نتائج البحوث مباشرةً في فصولهم الدراسية، بل تعزز كذلك تبادل أفضل الممارسات بين المدارس والأوساط التعليمية. ويمتد أثرها عبر المنتديات المحلية وفعاليات المدارس الشريكة، وصولًا إلى قادة المدارس والمُعلمين، وانتهاءً بالطلاب. وقد حقق البرنامج بالفعل تحسينات ملموسة في المدارس المشاركة، ليؤكد بذلك التزام المجلس الثقافي البريطاني بتوفير تعليم قائم على الأدلة ومستشرف للمستقبل.

دعم برنامج البحث العملي للمدارس الشريكة للمجلس الثقافي البريطاني اثني عشر باحثًا من تسع دول: باكستان ومصر وبنجلاديش ونيجيريا وغانا والأردن وزيمبابوي وبيرو وكولومبيا في مشاريع تركز على القيادة، والتطوير المهني المستمر (CPD)، والتكنولوجيا، ومعالجة التحديات العالمية المشتركة في التعليم.

كشفت المشروعات عن رؤى رئيسية عن التكنولوجيا وتطوير المعلمين والقيادة لأنها من محفزات تحسين التعليم. حيث ركزت العديد منها على التعلم الرقمي والذكاء الاصطناعي والمنصات الإلكترونية مما يعكس اهتمامًا عالميًا كبيرًا بالتكنولوجيا لدعم التعليم. ففي كولومبيا، أفاد 80% من الطلاب بأن الأدوات الرقمية قد حسّنت من مهاراتهم، لا سيما في حل المشكلات والتفكير النقدي. كما تُظهر الأبحاث المتعلقة بالتطوير المهني المستمر أن التأمل الجماعي في التدريب المُنجز فرديًا يُحسّن جودة التدريس ونتائج الطلاب بدرجة أكبر مقارنةً بالتطوير المهني المنعزل.

كان تكرار ذكر موضوع القيادة أمرًا بارزًا. ففي باكستان، أسهمت المشروعات الطلابية في تمكين الفتيات من خلال الدراسة الأكاديمية والأنشطة اللامنهجية وأدوار القيادة وتحدي الأعراف الجندرية وإحداث تغيير مجتمعي. وفي جميع الدول المشاركة، كانت المشاركة الشاملة من الطلاب إلى العائلات وقادة المدارس أساسيةً لإيجاد حلول مستدامة وفعّالة.

ويتناول المنشور الجديد البحث العملي للمدارس: قصص عالمية لتحسين المدارس هذه النتائج ويشارك استراتيجيات عملية للمدارس التي تواجه تحديات مماثلة في جميع أنحاء العالم.

كما أفاد عمار احمد، مدير امتحانات مصر، بالمجلس الثقافي البريطاني قائلاً: “بفضل دعم المجلس الثقافي البريطاني، تجاوز الباحثون في مصر كل التوقعات، حيث حققوا تغييرًا ذا معنى في مدارسهم وساهموا في ثقافة التحسين المستمر”.

بناءً على نجاحه، أطلق المجلس الثقافي البريطاني البرنامج للعام الثاني، مقدمًا منحًا لثلاثة عشر باحثًا جديدًا. تفضلوا بزيارة موقعنا الإلكتروني لمعرفة المزيد.

The British Council Partner Schools’ Action Research programme supported twelve researchers from nine countries: Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ghana, Jordan, Zimbabwe, Peru, and Colombia on projects focused on leadership, continuous professional development (CPD), and technology, addressing shared global challenges in education.

The projects revealed key insights into technology, teacher development, and leadership as drivers of educational improvement. Many focused on digital learning, AI, and online platforms, reflecting a keen global interest in technology to support education. In Colombia, 80% of students reported that digital tools improved their skills, especially in problem–solving and critical thinking. Research on CPD shows that group reflection on individually completed training leads to greater gains in teaching quality and student outcomes than isolated professional development.

Leadership was also key: in Pakistan, one of the four projects, empowered female students through academic achievement, extracurricular engagement, and leadership roles that challenge gender norms and drive community change. Across all projects, inclusive participation from students to families and school leaders proved essential to identifying needs and co–creating effective, lasting solutions.

“This recognition is a proud moment for all British Council Partner Schools,” said Deep Adhikari, Regional Exams Director, Sub–Saharan Africa. ‘It shows that when teachers lead classroom research, they create powerful, context–specific solutions that improve learning.’

“Winning the British Council Action Research Grant transformed my teaching by deepening my understanding of classroom challenges and enabling evidence–based solutions,” reflected Enobong Imaha, Action Research Grant recipient.

The new publication Action Research for Schools: Global Stories of School Improvement presents these findings and practical solutions to help schools worldwide address similar challenges.

Building on its success, the British Council has launched the second year of the programme. Visit our website to learn more.

iHerb lance la gamme de produits de beauté California Gold Nutrition® BEAUTY

IRVINE, Californie, 23 mai 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iHerb, acteur majeur des domaines de la santé et du bien–être à l’échelle mondiale, annonce fièrement le lancement de sa nouvelle gamme complète de soins personnels formulée à partir d’ingrédients de qualité supérieure et axée sur le bien–être intérieur, à savoir California Gold Nutrition® BEAUTY. La marque innove à l’appui d’une collection ciblée de produits et soins capillaires multivitaminés performants et « propres », conçus pour conserver des cheveux en bonne santé et pleins de vitalité.

Plus grande marque maison d’iHerb, mais aussi la plus appréciée, California Gold Nutrition étend désormais son empreinte aux produits de beauté, de toilette et de soins personnels, à l’heure où le secteur des cosmétiques connaît une croissance de taille qui devrait porter sa valorisation mondiale 2025 à 1 000 milliards de dollars.* Cette nouvelle gamme repose sur la notion d’une beauté venue intégralement de l’intérieur et s’attache au bien–être interne en conjuguant des compléments alimentaires élaborés par des experts et des soins topiques formulés à partir d’ingrédients propres et de qualité supérieure.

« Le lancement de California Gold Nutrition BEAUTY marque une avancée majeure de l’une de nos priorités stratégiques, à savoir l’enrichissement continu de notre offre de produits », souligne Lindsey Wiefels, vice–présidente principale des achats chez iHerb. « Cette gamme à la fois riche et abordable permet aux consommateurs du monde entier d’adopter une routine de soins personnels axée sur la santé, et qui commence par des cheveux forts et éclatants, nourris de l’intérieur », poursuit–elle.

À l’horizon des prochains mois, la gamme California Gold Nutrition BEAUTY se développera davantage pour intégrer des collections de produits dédiés aux soins corporels et de la peau. Il est notamment question, entre autres, de sérums riches en collagène, de soins hydratants, de baumes apaisants ou de poudres énergisantes à boire, le tout étant destiné à aider les adeptes à établir des routines complètes de soins personnels.

Des produits multivitaminés de premier choix visant à renforcer la santé capillaire

L’ouverture de cette gamme passe par des multivitamines spécialisées pour les cheveux et pleinement compatibles avec les fibres capillaires masculines et féminines, développées en collaboration avec le Dr Michael T. Murray, conseiller scientifique principal chez iHerb. 120 gélules végans sont ainsi proposées à un prix d’entrée suggéré d’environ 34 dollars, à savoir que chaque formule complète contient des vitamines, des minéraux et des nutriments essentiels, dont de la biotine à haute dose, ainsi qu’un complexe dermique capillaire composé de tocotriénols mixtes, phytostérols, céramides et extraits botaniques, tous soigneusement sélectionnés pour nourrir les follicules pileux.**

« Chez iHerb, nous estimons que la véritable beauté commence au niveau cellulaire. En concevant la gamme California Gold Nutrition BEAUTY, nous avons voulu conjuguer les effets de la biotine concentrée à ceux des plantes naturelles les plus efficaces pour renforcer la santé des cheveux », observe le Dr Murray. « Nous élaborons ces formules pour apporter de bons résultats sans sacrifier la sécurité ni la pureté, notre objectif restant d’aider chacun à se sentir à l’aise avec sa propre beauté naturelle — alimentée, résistante et rayonnante. »

Autorité mondialement reconnue en médecine naturelle, le Dr Michael Murray a récemment publié un article complet et fondé sur des données scientifiques sur le Centre du bien–être iHerb, qui dresse l’inventaire des vitamines et suppléments essentiels jouant en faveur d’une croissance capillaire naturelle.

Une collection de soins capillaires élaborés à partir de plantes

En complément des multivitamines, la nouvelle gamme intègre une collection capillaire topique signature au parfum vivifiant de romarin et de menthe, destinée à un rituel rafraîchissant quotidien. Ces produits sans parabènes, sulfates, paraffines, huiles minérales ou composés DEA ne sont pas testés sur les animaux. Ils sont proposés à un prix de vente conseillé de 10 dollars. La collection comprend les produits suivants :

  • Le shampooing fortifiant est conçu pour nettoyer et revitaliser vos cheveux grâce à la biotine et aux huiles nourrissantes de coco et de babassu qu’il renferme. Sa mousse généreuse vous apporte une brillance supérieure.
  • L’après–shampoing fortifiant hydrate vos cheveux en profondeur et les rend lisses, plus doux, plus forts, mais aussi plus faciles à coiffer.
  • Enrichi en romarin, huile de sésame, biotine, miel et huile de coco, le masque capillaire fortifiant est un soin intensif à appliquer chaque semaine pour apporter une nutrition supérieure à vos cheveux et les aider à mieux se renouveler.
  • L’huile fortifiante pour cheveux et cuir chevelu est une formule soyeuse à absorption rapide, aux propriétés apaisantes pour votre cuir chevelu et qui accentue la brillance de vos cheveux. Des notes rafraîchissantes d’arbre à thé et de menthe se dégagent de son parfum.

Jede umfassende Formel enthält Vitamine, Mineralien und essentielle Nährstoffe, darunter hochwirksames Biotin sowie einen Haar–Haut–Komplex mit gemischten Tocotrienolen, Phytosterolen, Ceramiden und Pflanzenextrakten, die sorgfältig ausgewählt wurden, um die Haarfollikel zu nähren.**
