How can innovative teaching approaches transform early childhood education?

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Philip Foday, Dean of Njala University, Sierra Leone, shared his valuable experiences and key takeaways from the recent three-day online training programme conducted in collaboration with Bijie Preschool Education College, China.

The training provided educators and student teachers with practical insights into child-centred teaching, play-based learning, hands-on classroom activities, and the creation of stimulating learning environments.

Dr. Foday highlighted the importance of encouraging children to actively explore, communicate, create, and interact, emphasising that meaningful learning extends beyond traditional classroom instruction.

Through this international collaboration, both institutions continue to promote knowledge exchange, innovative teaching practices, and professional development in early childhood education.
