Afghanistan’s Ministry of Education Taps Camilla Barry for Science Curriculum
Since 2003, Camilla Barry has spent a few weeks every summer (except one) in Afghanistan, teaching hands-on science to students and in teacher training classes. Enthusiastic students and teachers have spread the word about her innovative and exciting teaching methods throughout the country.
This summer Camilla is in Kabul, under the auspices of Afghanistan’s Ministry of Education, finalizing an entire series of hands-on science lessons translated into Pashto and Darsi languages and illustrated by an Afghan illustrator. Videos of her teaching the lessons will be developed and distributed on DVDs throughout the country.
