UK Envoy Visits Guatemala’s Education Minister
Ambassador Juliana Correa and Minister Anabella Giracca met to explore ways to further deepen UK-Guatemala educational ties.
The meeting highlighted the potential of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE)-the world’s largest fund dedicated to transforming education in lower-income countries, with the UK as its leading donor. Discussions focused on leveraging this platform to support Guatemala’s education priorities.
Key areas of potential collaboration included enhancing early English language learning and expanding Guatemalan participation in the UK’s prestigious Chevening Scholarship programme at the postgraduate level.
Ambassador Correa also expressed the UK’s interest in supporting national initiatives such as the “Scholarships for Our Future” programme, recognizing its transformative impact on the lives of Guatemalan youth.
In closing, the Ambassador commended Minister Giracca’s efforts to expand educational access, improve learning outcomes, and promote equity and inclusion across the country’s education system.
