Communities paving the way for quality teaching
Swafiya, Kenya
Swafiya Said knew that the system of education in the Muslim community of Mombasa was not good enough. The traditional preschools emphasized rote learning and provided few practical and enjoyable learning opportunities to children. As a teacher, Swafiya knew the there could be a better way, so she developed a new teaching model, which integrated child-centered methods in pre-school subjects with a solid grounding in cultural education.
