PCS Edventures! (OTC BB: PCSV) today announced it is having material discussions with the Ministry of Education in Egypt for a countrywide early childhood education project. The project, jointly funded by the World Bank and the Egyptian MOE, will introduce significant changes in the Egyptian school system and will significantly expand and enhance access, quality, and teaching methodologies.
