Getting to know International Contacts-Part 3

This week I will be explored the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” website. I will share three insights i have learned and gained while reviewing the site. Before reviewing the website i have never heard of this place but according to the website their mission is to, "contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information"(http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/about-us/who-we-are/introducing-unesco/).


Underneath the heading of education, I enjoyed reading about there literacy initaitve which promotes literacy around the world, and to make literacy a fun experience. I also learned that UNESCO's early childhood education program thrives for outstanding early childhood care both for the well-being and holistic development of the child. Their mission is to support early childhood policy development with the aim to build a solid foundation for a child’s lifelong learning.

I also learned that UNESCO wishes to achieve 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. I think this is a fanstatic idea and i hope more orgnizations will try to reach the same goal.
