I visited the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education webpage because I have not received any response from the Early Childhood professionals. This website was very informative in regard to international early childhood education and I have learned a lot from it. The Convention on the Rights of the Child which was analysed in this article and asked if what difference has it made to children’s right to education? Turns out states have to reflect these obligations in their Constitution and take strides towards enhancing education policies and strategies.
I also learned about the challenges in Brazil in regard to integrating care and education. This article focusing on the issues of integrating child care and education. Apparently in 1996 there was a policy imposed to integrate administrative responsibility for day care centers for 0-3 and preschool 4-6 into the education system. This article focuses on why there is still a gap in this system of integrating school and care, even though there is a policy in place.
The article goes on to talk about how important it is to bring these two sectors together, but that is not something that will happen over night, and it will take some time until care and education are integrated. This article showed me that the government in Brazil is trying to make their early childhood educational system better, it is going to take some time but they are making the effort.
