Background information

After the first flush of enthusiasm or inspiration which has started you thinking about a possible link with a school in Japan (or the UK), you may be beginning to wonder whether it really is that simple. Certainly there are differences between the education systems and obstacles presented by language, lack of funding and so on. But don't be disheartened! If you understand how your partner school works or know about funding and other organisations that support links you will find ways to make your link run smoothly.

If you have questions about setting up a school link, please contact Katherine Donaghy. We also welcome your comments or suggestions concerning these guidelines, so please email us with them.
