Education First, UNICEF and the American University in Cairo Join Forces

Yesterday, Education First Foundation celebrated the graduation of the first TOT team for the "Basic Skills for Social Work in Schools – Case Management, Psychosocial Support, and Leadership" program in collaboration with UNICEF and under academic supervision from the American University in Cairo – Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – Department of Psychology.

The program included thirty trainers from various specializations with the aim of implementing the program in public schools across the governorates of Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Ismailia, and Sohag.

This program aims to train social workers to handle emotional, behavioral, and social issues that arise in schools. It also focuses on building capacity in essential skills such as case management, leadership, psychosocial support, and child protection. The program covers key issues such as managing misconduct and aggression, discipline, and classroom management, while emphasizing practical application and reflective thinking to facilitate learning and enable the use of information at various competency levels.

Education First Foundation is proud to have been selected to implement this program in collaboration with UNICEF and the American University in Cairo.
