Education UK Scotland is a British Council initiative in partnership with the Scottish Executive and the education sector in Scotland. It seeks to raise awareness of Scotland's educational expertise in overseas markets. Key priority markets for the period 2003-2006 are the USA, China, Vietnam, Russia, Mexico, India, the Gulf States and Kenya.
The education sector has regular input into the activities of Education UK Scotland through its steering committee and country working groups. One of the key benefits of Education UK Scotland is that it works across all sectors from schools to universities. Education UK Scotland also works closely with key education and public agencies.
