Since July, China's central government has implemented a sweeping series of reforms to the national education system which will, in turn, have implications for the UK ELT sector.

Changes were made to the UK's travel lists on Monday 30 August. Of most impact to UK ELT, Switzerland moved to the green list, while Thailand moved to the red list. 

We're delighted to confirm that the ELT Marketing Conference will take place in London next month.

This is our second face-to-face event since the pandemic began, and we look forward to reconnecting with members in person. Safety is still our priority and Covid measures will be in place. 

English UK member Celtic English Academy (CEA) is the first private sector and SME organisation in Wales to be awarded a Gold Standard FairPlay Employer Award for equality in the workplace.

The award is from the inclusive working charity and consultancy, Chwarae Teg, which evaluates a workplace's approach to inclusion by recognising everyone's contribution and ensuring everyone has the chance to succeed.

There will be no weekly update and Q&A session on Friday 13 August.
