Better learning in school can eventually lead to social and economic gains for society. Getting the right education and care at an early age can greatly lesson the issues if having to "catch up" at the primary level and beyond.]]> 2016-04-24 22:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427033 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427347 Learning through play is considered to be more effective for children at the pre-primary level , as opposed to learning through traditional subject-oriented teaching.]]> 2016-04-24 23:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427347 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427441 Poor nutrition can lead to slow development of both fine and gross motor function, as well as increased risk for mortality. Children, especially in undeveloped countries, who are not cognitively stimulated and from low socioeconomic communities are at greater risk of malnutrition. Malnourished children spend much less time in school and learn less when they actually are there]]> 2016-04-24 23:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427441 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427747 Individual countries are progressing greatly to the point where child mortality rates are falling faster now than any other period in the past 20 years. Niger chooses to combat these epidemics by seeking help from themselves as well as funding from external organizations and were able to distribute insect nets for beds, vitamin supplements, vaccines, and various other forms of medical care.]]> 2016-04-24 23:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427747 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427936 Good nutrition is not the only building block of early childhood success. Children need to learn through cognitive stimulation with adults and other children. Many parents in developing countries are uneducated, so they have no way of knowing what will be a successful way for their child to succeed academically and emotionally. In many countries, there are no set or enforced standards for schools for teachers as to what is best in developing early childhood curriculum.]]> 2016-04-24 23:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107427936 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107428133 Some countries, such as Pakistan, offer home-based services for checking on child development. They employ methods on nutrition education and supplementation, as well as encouraging and coaching mothers on how to engage in responsive play with their children. On a global perspective, both UNICEF and UNESCO are helping many countries develop a strategic plan for implementing early childhood facilities and standards.]]> 2016-04-24 23:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107428133 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107428624 The definition of quality can vary from country to country, with different factors being considered such as cost, religious values, language, etc. Regardless of these issues themselves, there is also a high demand for well educated staff at early childhood facilities. It seems to be a global consensus that early childhood professionals should be skilled in relationship building with children and parents and have a grasp on the science behind how young children develop. Unfortunately, factors such as, but not limited to low pay and a need for teachers in rural areas does not attract the quality teachers that are so desperately needed.]]> 2016-04-24 23:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107428624 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107429028 Although the training minimums can be very inconsistent across and within countries, many are making strides to create standards and give training to new and senior teachers. Some countries, such as Moldova, Australia, and Portugal are either raising salaries or offering teacher incentives in the early childhood area, especially for the ones who take job opportunities is rural and/or impoverished areas. Many schools are also providing in-service training, as well as seeking help from the private sector for assistance on filling in any gaps. ]]> 2016-04-24 23:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107429028 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107429494 So how do we solve these problems and the many others that face the underdeveloped world? Unfortunately, there is no right or wrong answer. We must always consider the wishes and values of parents, whether that involves the involvement of religion in school or the pedagogical approach to early childhood care and education. Another important factor is to remember that many developing nations cannot provide quality education and care alone; many parties must be involved to ensure success. Local, state, national, and private institutions all need to band together to bring a quality education and, in turn, a quality life to those who need it most]]> 2016-04-25 00:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107429494 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107430190 2016-04-25 00:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107430190 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107430294 The presence and involvement of a father is extremely important on the development of a child. Many countries are starting "parental leave" to include fathers, which benefits the health ans well-being of mother and child]]> 2016-04-25 00:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107430294 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107432561 Please click to view full size.]]> 2016-04-25 00:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107432561 jlayaou https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107432998 Lady Health Workers in Pakistan provide home visiting service to encourage mothers and young children to learn about nutrition and engage in responsive play together]]> 2016-04-25 01:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jlayaou/week4unesco/wish/107432998
