Education
The EBU Teachers' Association (commonly known as EBUTA) promotes and supports bridge teaching by EBU qualified members. By improving the quantity and quality of bridge teaching, it aims to increase the number of people who play and enjoy bridge and thereby increase membership of the EBU. EBUTA provides information, advice and training to qualified and prospective bridge teachers.
Minibridge is used to help introduce players into the game. It is also being introduced to Primary Schools across England to help promote skills in Maths and English. The EBU also promotes Really Easy Bridge to introduce newly playing bridge players to the tournament side of play.
The EBU also co-ordinates a project in producing teachers from their affiliated clubs.
