This webinar is brought to you by Kognity for Cambridge Assessment International Education

High quality bilingual education programmes have been successfully implemented across the globe. Yet, some national or regional programmes have faced substantial obstacles and have had to in part close down. This presentation will highlight problems faced in Hong Kong and Malaysia as well as lessons learnt. Potentially, these have implications for schools in diverse contexts elsewhere in the world.

Additional common pitfalls in managing and leading bilingual schools will be explored, as will typical ways of managing these risks. Success factors will be discussed. Participants will be invited to reflect on some of their own management/leadership practices.
