HC Deb 30 January 2004 vol 417 c578W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will make a statement on development of the Global Gateway for Learning since the Commonwealth Education Ministers' Conference in October 2003. [151114]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Development of the Global Gateway has continued on schedule since last October. The Global Gateway will be a new one-stop-shop website for UK schools on all aspects of international education. It will also enable UK schools and schools from across the world to develop effective partnerships (e.g. joint curriculum projects, professional development, collaborative opportunities etc.) through a school linking facility. I am pleased to announce that I will formally launch the website on 10 February 2004.
