Assistance from schools and teachers
The ESU is not able to pay for rooms, teachers, expenses etc. as it is an entirely voluntary organisation. If schools can attract local sponsorship (e.g. schools, native speakers, teachers, local companies) this is quite acceptable.
If your school and teachers are able to offer a venue or their services free please let me know.
We advise all entrants to read the competition rules for the International Competition before they enter.
Good luck.
