Educators from 120 Cambridge schools in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait came together at our Annual Meetings for School Leaders and Principals in October 2023. The meetings in Jeddah, Riyadh, Bahrain and Kuwait provided a platform for school leaders to connect, hear updates from Cambridge and share best practice with their colleagues.
Abigail Barnett, Deputy Director, Curriculum Programmes for International Education at Cambridge (pictured above in Kuwait), gave an update on Cambridge Early Years - our brand new programme for 3 to 6 year olds which is now available to schools worldwide.
Her workshop – 'From playful beginnings to secondary success: a foundation for excellence’ – emphasised the importance of investing in early years education, engaging parents and adopting a research-based approach. Cambridge Early Years resources for both teachers and learners were also showcased at the events.
We’d like to thank everyone who took part – over 240 Cambridge educators in total – as well as the Open Arab University, a Cambridge Professional Development Centre, for hosting the event in Bahrain.
