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.
Hi Ghayna,
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
