International Consultants of Delaware staffer Kate Trayte Freeman publishes two books

Kate Freeman, a senior global assessment specialist at CGFNS International and its division, the International Consultants of Delaware, has written two new books. Ms. Freeman has substantial experience in international education and, in particular, in analyzing educational credentials from many countries.

Kate's first book, published in March by the Pioneer Fund Committee, is Morocco: A Guide to Its Educational System and Advice for the Admission and Placement of Students Educated in Morocco. It is intended for professionals who need to understand the Moroccan system of education in order to work with individuals educated there who desire to continue their education in the United States. In addition to an explanation of the system from pre-school through university advanced degrees, the author offers advice about the level at which Moroccan-educated individuals might enter the U.S. educational system.

The book is available for download at http://www.ece.org/pioneerfund.
