Montessori training for Deaf Unit teachers in September

The Deaf Unit of the Episcopal/ Anglican Church in Egypt started training “Montessori” yesterday at the Deaf Unit in the Old Cairo area. The training targets 14 schools from September 3 to September 24, 3 times during the week as the training focuses on improving the quality of education within the school for the deaf student’s using new tools.

Montessori is an educational curriculum that emphasizes the need for the educational process to pay attention to the development of the child’s personality in an integrated manner in the psychological, mental, and physical-motor aspects, to help him develop his creative abilities and solve problems

The unit works to rehabilitate and educate the deaf and their families and support communication in sign language in a way that guarantees the improvement of the scientific, health, social and economic level in order to enable them to be self-reliant and integrate into society through academic education, vocational training, activities, trips, and conferences.

The Deaf Unit was established in 1982 under the umbrella of the Episcopal Church, and it was declared in Social Affairs under the number 4014 of 1993.

It is worth mentioning that the Province of Alexandria for the Episcopal/Anglican Church is the 41st region of this church around the world, and it includes under its presidency 10 countries in Egypt and North Africa, and is under the presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury and belongs to the Episcopal/Anglican Church Union in the world.
In Egypt, the Episcopal/Anglican Church was established in 1815 and the first Episcopal/Anglican Church was founded in Alexandria in 1839 when it was given a plot of land in Alexandria’s Manisha square to establish the Episcopal/Anglican Church of St. Mark by Mohamed Ali Pasha the Ruler of Egypt at this time.
