Speaking about the Alumni Awards 2026, Stephen Forbes, country director Bangladesh, British Council, said, 鈥楾he Study UK Alumni Awards is a unique opportunity for alumni returned from the UK to demonstrate their work and contributions to their home country. It also underscores the lasting impact of a UK education in countries worldwide. It is encouraging to see the contributions in so many dynamic sectors, including in particular science and sustainability, culture, creativity and sport, social action, and business and innovation. I believe that participating in this opportunity will not only inspire alumni to reflect on their journey with pride and confidence but will also motivate the next generation to pursue their aspirations and create positive change in society.鈥�
