Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 3


Three things that I learned and carried away from the  Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/themes/strengthening-education-systems/early-childhood/),



1.      The six education goals geared toward the learning and advancement of young children and adults. 

Goal 1
Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children

Goal 2
Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to, and complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.

Goal 3
Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes

Goal 4
Achieving a 50 per cent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.

Goal 5
Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality.

Goal 6
Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills

2.      In order to increase educational advances for it’s communities, the World Forum wants to eliminate the gaps in funding. This goal will be achieved through expanding resource opportunities, and aligning aids already in the circuit to encourage new donors.

3.      Continual monitoring and evaluation will assist in strengthening the goals of achieving educational and financial progression. 




      One of my goals consist of working in a position to aid children that were or are victims of abuse. I believe seeking out resources such as support groups will enable and strengthen the child to feel comfortable about his or her self and eventually be a voice unto someone else.

  1. Hello Ebony,
    The website provided valuable information. I learned that many countries face the similar issue of financial assistance for high quality early childhood education in order for all young children to have the opportunity to attend. Some countries have to be careful not to focus on one socio-economic group in order to ensure all young children have the opportunity to attend high quality early childhood education.
