In teaching leadership development we have developed and revised a model of teamwork and collaboration, which has yielded innovative and positive results.

One of the key factors determining the economic status and success of women is their level of education. Women have been turning to education in ever increasing numbers, and they now comprise the majority of students in our institutions of higher education.
