CIES: Early education in Saudi Arabia

March

Here is Ibtesam Hussain talking about early-childhood education in her native country of Saudi Arabia.

Among other things, she discusses the role of Islam and the increasing demand for early-childhood programs as more women enter the workforce.

Hussain — who wants to be the next Oprah Winfrey — is quite a character and it was a real pleasure to meet her.

(Be sure to watch or scroll ahead until at least the 3:50 mark, where she demonstrates a typical lesson for the youngsters.)
