ExxonMobil Egypt announces its sponsorship of the Professional Educator Diploma offered by AUC

In line with its continuous support and focus on education, training and development initiatives at a variety of levels, ExxonMobil Egypt, the leading fuels and lubricants manufacturer, has announced its sponsorship of the Professional Educator Diploma offered by the American University in Cairo (AUC).

The company is supporting twenty teachers and administrators from selected Egyptian public schools.

The program aims at supporting the professional development of teachers and school administrators and upgrading their educational skills.

"We truly believe that nothing is more important or more lasting than the opportunity provided by quality education. And no one is more central to creating that opportunity than the hard working teachers and administrators that guide eager students as they learn and grow. As a result, and in line with our ongoing commitment to education, training and development at a variety of levels, ExxonMobil Egypt is honored to be able to partner with AUC in supporting these deserving professionals as they strive to earn their Professional Educator Diploma," said Thomas Walter, ExxonMobil's Chairman and Managing Director.

He added, "With more than 100 years of partnership in Egypt's growth, ExxonMobil Egypt's establishment of the ExxonMobil Scholarships at AUC's prestigious Graduate School of Education (GSE) is another important example of our long-standing commitment to the communities in which we operate".

Dr. Samiha Sidhom Peterson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Interim dean of GSE said: "The aim of this diploma is to provide high-quality professional and technical assistance to teachers, school administrators and decision makers in the education sector in Egypt and the Arab world".

"GSE's main objective is to foster excellence in practice and research for pre-university and higher education professionals through a coherent and sustainable system that integrates learning, research and policy dialogues," she added.

The American University in Cairo offers this diploma through its Graduate School of Education. The new school includes the Professional Educator Diploma programs, which offers non-credit education Diplomas in five areas: educational leadership, early literacy education, teaching diverse learners, integrated educational technology for classroom teachers, and teaching for non-education majors.

"I believe that the new initiative is supporting Egypt's educational reform Efforts. We are looking forward to further cooperation with ExxonMobil Egypt and we strive for more successes, since these professional diplomas are the major priority in education in Egypt and the region", added Ms Peterson.
