Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 3

This week I explored the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage. while exploring this web page I read three different articles that I found were very interesting. One article that I read was
"Young women must be fully supported to take part in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education". In this article it discussed how there can be a be ways in supporting girls to stay in school and continue on to higher education. I learned that there are many Countries that girls have a high drop out rate. Another thing that I found to be interesting on this site that "8-million project aims at enhancing the capacity of the key local Teacher Training Institutions through information and communications technology (ICT) in 8 African countries" (www.unesco.org). The third thing that I found interesting from this site is that statement "There are no universally agreed criteria for quantifying ECCE quality but useful factors to consider include pedagogy materials, personnel training, service setting and parental education and involvement. Learning materials should be quantitatively, culturally and developmentally adequate and focus on child-centred interaction"(www.unesco.org).
