The British Council builds connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language. We work in two ways - directly with individuals to transform their lives, and with governments and partners to make a bigger difference for the longer term, creating benefit for millions of people all over the world. We help young people to gain the skills, confidence and connections they are looking for to realise their potential and to participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative enterprise. We connect the best of the UK with the world and the best of the world with the UK. These connections lead to an understanding of each other's strengths and of the challenges and values that we share. This builds trust between people in the UK and other nations which endures even when official relations may be strained. We work on the ground in more than 100 countries. In 2019-20 we connected with 80 million people directly and with 791 million overall, including online and through our broadcasts and publications. Context Education is a powerful vector for cultural relations activity - especially as access to high quality education at all levels is more important than ever. The UK's strength in education makes it an excellent partner for people-to-people, institution-to-institution and government-to-government connections. It is one of the four core pillars of the British Council's cultural engagement activity. There are four global programmes within Higher Education and Science: The Going Global Partnerships programme supports connections at the institution to institution and government to government levels in higher education and TVET and is linked to the jurisdictions KPI (C3). It aims to build strategic, mutually beneficial partnerships in tertiary education between the UK and other countries, and has four outcome strands: Enabling research: supporting research, knowledge, and innovation collaboration to address local and global challenges and promote inclusive growth. Internationalising institutions: creating an enabling environment while supporting institutions and individuals to benefit from internationalisation. Strengthening systems: improving the quality and efficiency of institutions and systems. Enhancing student outcomes: improving the qualities of global graduates (e.g. soft skills, employability, community outcomes). The International Student Mobility and Marketing programme seeks to position the UK as the first country of choice globally for international students and is linked to the KPIs relating to attracting international students to the UK (C1, C2, C4 and C7). The Global Alumni programme aims to take advantage of the fact that alumni of UK HEIs understand, feel goodwill towards, and are likely to want to continue to be connected to, the UK. It is linked to the Alumni KPIs (C5, C6 and C8). It recognises that alumni can be knowledgeable and skilled agents for change who can become instrumental in advancing social and economic development in their home countries as well as advocates for the UK and UK education (thus also supporting the attracting international students KPI). The Insight & Engagement global programme supports the positioning of the UK as a contributor and convenor of knowledge about international HE and TVET globally. As such it supports delivery of all the KPIs. It will include a programme of regional policy dialogues culminating in a Going Global conference, and Regional and Global Insight Hubs The Going Global Partnerships programme is expected to require the most support (60% of the post) as the MEL is complex. The other three programmes are 10-15% each. There is also an outward mobility programme including Language Assistants and Generation UK China, both funded by the Department for Education. While we do not have a KPI in this area, this area is a high priority for the Department for Education as evidenced by the fact they provide considerable funding for it. The Opportunity Role Purpose Lead Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) across Higher Education and Science, designing and implementing a results-focused monitoring, evaluation, and learning strategy to build robust evidence and generate impact at scale.

Leadership & Management Lead a new Research, Insight and Evaluation Panel across HE and Science, in partnership with the Research, Policy and Insight team to ensure all investments in research and evaluation support delivery of organisational strategy, produce high quality outputs and result in the application of knowledge.
