• create, develop and nurture a professional learning community within the region by sharing expertise and experience within and beyond the association

• provide mechanisms for context-sensitive school evaluation
• keep member schools informed with respect to developments in educational theory and practice and in particular the areas of bilingual and bicultural education
• encourage and maintain dialogue with relevant educational institutions and associations in Britain and the rest of the world
