The UNESCO works with
countries to create quality programs available for all children to be able to
have the experience of being in an early childhood program. In these programs
they attend to health, nutrition, security, learning and a child’s development.
The organization also initiated the first world conference of ECCE in September
2010 to create a global initiative to better ECCE programs.
This organizations priority
is located in Africa. They are in great need of education to help the regions
development. The main focus of this organization is to improve quality teachers
in education programs. They also provide education programs to everyone
throughout life.
In Arab states, Asia
and the Pacific, UNESCO is working on emphasizing the importance of education
as a fundamental human right. These countries struggle with who should be
educated and as professionals in the early childhood field, it is crucial to emphasis
the importance that everyone should have access to an education.
These topics are
important for my professional goals because as an early childhood professional,
I should want to help to change the lives of every child no matter their need
or proximity to me. I should be an advocate for all children and help provide
programs to everyone.

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI think that the UNESCO website offers a wealth of information. The organization does great work in Africa that has expanded to other countries. Thanks for sharing.
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteAs you said in some regions there is still debates over who should access education. It is also applicable to which sex should benefit from education. In some countries still women are deprived from many rights such as education. And the sad part is some are not even aware that they are entitled to such right. As future mothers that has a great impact on their children's lives.
Wow thanks for sharing. I never knew that there was an issue in several countries on who should receive an education. I have always assumed that everyone is afforded the chance, especially because so many countries are exceeding ours in education. I think it is so sad that someone would deny a child the opportunity to learn. It's Just not fair.
