For example, we have hosted groups of Headteachers and groups of individuals working for local government.Groups have visited from countries such as the US, Netherlands, Sweden, China, Georgia. In some cases, our academic staff may be able to trave internationally to lead professional learning courses.Feedback from previous participants Through theoretical study and school visits, we have fully understood the educational theories and values of Scotland. Combining the theoretical knowledge and research I learnt at the University of Edinburgh to the reality of my school, I will explore the way that suits the school for further enhancement and development. I learnt to think about education from an international perspective and gained knowledge of advanced education theory. I hope to have the opportunity to study again in future at the University of Edinburgh.
