I learned many things from this website. As I looked under Early Education, the tabs that are there are Access, Quality, Investment and Governance which are some of the issues we have been learning about in this course. A few specific things this site taught me that I did not know:
1 - In the developing world, 10.5 million children under 5 die from preventable diseases every year. (UNESCO)
2 - UNESCO believes that everyone has the right to an education and that education should not be a privilege that is only for a few.3 - 69 million children are out of school world-wide
One major insight I have gained this week is that the issues about the field of EC that baffle me, also seem to baffle other professionals, not only in the US, but worldwide. I feel I have so much more to learn but I am grateful for the many things this class has taught me.
Dear Cari,
ReplyDeleteI have learned that no matter where we are in this world, education has become the most important thing in a child's life. Also, we as educators go through the same thing as educators across the world. Hopefully, one day we can come together, and make this world a better place for our children. This class has showed me that education is the key to survival in his world, no matter where you live.
I found this website so interesting. I learned 75 million children are EXCLUDED from education. How sad!!! Enjoyed your blog!!
