Arabic Teachers Council in Yorkshire & Derbyshire

The Arabic Teachers Council (ATC) in Yorkshire & Derbyshire was the first network of Arabic school teachers to be established in the UK in 2019 with funding from Qatar Foundation International (QFI). The council aims to bring together a community of Arabic teachers from mainstream and supplementary schools who teach Arabic at different levels including exam-focused lessons (i.e. GCSE & A-Levels) to both heritage and non-heritage learners of Arabic. The council includes Arabic teachers from Leeds city as well as the surrounding regions such as Bradford, York, Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Sheffield, as well as Derby, Chesterfield and other areas across Derbyshire, where a considerable number of current and potential Arabic schools exist.
