Andorra-US Fulbright Committee Boosts English Teaching and Scholarships in Barcelona Meeting
The bilateral committee met at the US Consulate in Barcelona to review 25 years of Fulbright success, approving US assistants for Andorran schools and advancing scholarship selections to strengthen ties.
Key Points
- Over 20 Andorran students have studied at US universities via Fulbright since 2000.
- Five US teaching assistants to join secondary schools, baccalaureate, and vocational centre in 2026-2027.
- Builds on MIT Global Teaching Lab with five science educators this year.
- Approved candidates for 2027-2028 scholarships and reviewed future grants.
The Andorra-US Bilateral Fulbright Committee met on Thursday at the US Consulate General in Barcelona to oversee educational and cultural cooperation under the Fulbright Programme, which has operated since 2000.
Over the past 25 years, more than 20 Andorran students have pursued postgraduate studies at prestigious US universities through the initiative. Committee members discussed integrating five US teaching assistants specialising in English for the 2026-2027 academic year. These professionals will join teaching teams at three secondary schools, the Andorran Baccalaureate School, and the Vocational Training Centre to enhance English skills and foster educational and cultural exchanges.
The move builds on the MIT Global Teaching Lab programme, which this year brought five Massachusetts Institute of Technology students to support science education across various Andorran institutions.
Participants approved a primary candidate and an alternate for the 2027-2028 Fulbright scholarship, forwarding both to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board for final approval. They also monitored ongoing Andorran scholars, reviewed application guidelines for 2028-2029 postgraduate grants, and assessed other academic collaborations.
Representatives from Andorra and the US highlighted the programme's strong development and committed to further strengthening bilateral educational and cultural ties.
