Under the auspices of the chancellor, Dr. Hassan El Kalla, a partnership was forged on March 28, 2018, with the Council to bring to Egypt the opportunity for teachers of young children to obtain the CDA. Since then, the program, under the tutelage of Dr. Muriel Baskerville, has really taken off.

Baskerville has made it clear that BUC will continue to expand the CDA course and credentialing process in Egypt, paving the way for more early childhood educators to gain the professional skills and competencies required to work with young children.

“Additionally, we are confident the CDA training will support educators in the implementation of (last year’s) new early childhood curriculum presented by the Ministry of Education in Egypt … and significantly improve learning outcomes for the children they serve,” Baskerville wrote in a recent blog for the Council.
