Cameron is the Chief of Party for Early Grades Education Activity in Jordan (ASAS)

Cameron works with the Government of Jordan and the university sector to increase the quantity and improve the quality of schoolteachers countrywide through a systems approach that integrates pre-service and in-service reforms for early grades education. Through a holistic child-centered approach that encompasses social and emotional learning,  universal design for learning,  inclusive education, play-based learning, climate-smart education, and technology, the ASAS program aims to reach 1 million children and support over 23,000 teachers.

Previously, Cameron was the chief of party for the Pre-Service Teacher Education In Jordan program (PRESTIJ), which successfully introduced and scaled up a post-graduate teaching diploma. This diploma has significantly reduced teacher shortages and increased the quality of teaching through a high-quality, intensive, and accredited teaching diploma delivered by public universities. 

Prior to joining IREX, Cameron spent several years reforming the higher education sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain. First, as head of strategy at the Ministry of Higher Education, he co-authored the first national strategy for higher education and authored the first employers-led graduate skills guide in 2014. Then, as director of strategy for the University of Bahrain, he authored the transformation plan and established several high-profile employer and research collaborations, introduced over 20 new employer-led programs which increased graduate employment to 84% within 3 years, and led the university to its highest ever employability ranking position and global ranking.

In the UK, Cameron was responsible for delivering such programs as the Respect Action Plan, the Youth Action Plan, young apprenticeships, the family intervention program, the review of diversity in the curriculum, and the review of child poverty while at the Department for Education and Skills. Cameron was also an advisor to the Ministry of Higher Education for Egypt, supporting the improvement of over 40 Universities in Partnership with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank.
