Italian and Urdu

We are celebrating this week the return of Italian to Shimna. A small group of students began study with the Open University YASS. This is a scheme which allows school age students to follow units of OU undergraduate courses. The students will take up Italian from scratch, and can pursue their study through to GCSE or A level. We had also been searching for a similar course for the study of Urdu. While we haven't found a sufficiently high quality distance learning course, we have found suitable intensive courses at SOAS, which is a college of the University of London, and hope to sponsor interested students to study there.
