The BEA winners are Ambassadors for British education. In shining a light on these success stories, the BEA promotes the merits of a British education on both a national and international stage. These celebrated scholars represent the best that can be achieved through dedication and hard work, whether at school, college, university or vocational level.

There are many national awards that recognise the success of learning establishments and institutions, but few that award individual students. The British Education Award aims to address this by seeking out and paying tribute to individual students on a national platform.
