Research Around the World

I chose to explore the Early Childhood Development Virtual University (ECDVU) Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).  Most of the topics include ways to improve the education of children and also parents.  Researches also include studies about including indigenous knowledge and practices into children’s school education.   
The ECDVU is supported by international, regional and local organizations in order to provide training programs.  It is interesting to see how many professionals from so many different countries and cultures came together to support this organization.  Its goal is “to further develop African ECD leadership capacity as a key strategy in support of child, family and community well-being and broader social and economic development” (ECDVU, 2012).
This website also provided links to the ECDVU Middle East North Africa (MENA), the University of Victoria School of Child and Youth Care.  It was interesting for me to go through these websites to understand more about the ECDVU Sub-Saharan Africa.

  1. Hi Ghayna,

    It's interesting to see how similar some of the trending topics and issues are here compared to those internationally. I wonder if what we would consider quality early childhood programs would be the same as somewhere else.

Professionals of the developing countries have a high need to get support and improve their knowledge and share experiences with other professionals in the world.
