Bahrain School joins PASCH network
Manama : Bahrain School (BS), a Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) School, has become a member of the ‘Schools: Partners for the Future’ (PASCH) initiative. It is a network of more than 1,800 schools, where German is of particular importance. German Ambassador Alfred Simms-Protz unveiled the plaque, which commemorates the designation of Bahrain School as a PASCH School, a global network of schools, which place a high priority in teaching German language and culture with the assistance of the Goethe Institute. German Consul Hans Lamprecht and Roland Stumpf, the Asst. Director of the Goethe Institute in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain School Principal Dr. Terry Greene, Asst. Principal Shelman Burton, and German Teacher Marc Farrell were present at the the unveiling of the PASCH School Plaque.
Bahrain School students have already benefitted from the language learning programs offered by the Goethe Institute in Muscat, Oman and in Germany. Bahrain School appreciates the close working relationship and educational support provided by the Goethe Institute and the German Embassy.
In February 2008, the Federal Foreign Office launched the “Schools: Partners for the Future” (PASCH) initiative. The initiative strengthens and connects a worldwide network of more than 1,800 partnerships with a special commitment to Germany. In young people, this is intended to arouse lasting interest and enthusiasm for modern Germany and the German language - particularly in the main regions of Asia, the Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe.
The Federal Foreign Office coordinates the partnership initiatives and implements them together with the Central Office for Foreign Education, the Goethe Institute, the German Academic Exchange Service and the Educational Exchange Service of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs.
