How can international collaboration transform the future of early childhood education?

In this exclusive interview, Dr. Philip Foday, Dean of Njala University, Sierra Leone, shares his insights on the collaboration between Njala University and Bijie Preschool Education College, China.

Through a three-day online training workshop and the establishment of the Standards Application and Promotion Base, this partnership aims to strengthen teacher development, promote professional standards, and bridge the gap between educational theory and classroom practice.

From child-centred and play-based learning to classroom management and hands-on teaching experiences, this initiative empowers lecturers and future educators with practical skills to create more engaging, effective, and supportive learning environments for young children.
