Education Education programs, under the direction of Associate Dean June Fox , usually have a range of five to eight foreign students a year. Rita Hogan-Bassey of the Ministry of Education, Nigeria, came to Lesley in April, 1981, was awarded a Mas­ ter's degree in Early Childhood Edu­ cation in May, 1982, and has just completed her requirements for a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Early Childhood. "I have been very satisfied with my programs in Early Childhood," she says . "I particularly enjoyed visiting local preschools and seeing the prac ­ tical side of the theory I learned at Lesley ." When she returns home, she plans to work with teachers of fourteen preschools and to run inservice train­ ing workshops , which were inspired by the Kindergarten Conference. As part of her C .A.G .S. program, she also designed a program for training teacher aides and a curriculum guide for use in her state of Cross River, one of the nineteen states of Nigeria. Rita first heard of Lesley from a planning and research officer of the Ministry of Education. He had gone to a seminar in Bradford, England , where he met Lesley Exchange students and faculty , and learned about the College's fine education programs .
