JAMMU, July 15: Two British teaching assistants joined KC Public School today under British Council’s “Generation UK-India” programme.
The programme is applicable in schools in India which are accredited as members of the International School Award (ISA) Programme of the Council.
Suzanne Henry, aged 25 hails from outside London and is a graduate in Human Rights and Law. She has been working since her graduation in 2012 and has volunteered in community projects.

These teaching assistants will work at KCPS for 2 months and would undertake project work with the children of both senior and junior wings of the school through a special time schedule worked out for them by the school. Both will also work with children in terms of their skills in spoken English through drama and speech.
