Sharing Web Resources

Through my continued journey in early childhood education there have been many resources that I became fond of. I have signed up for two newsletters for two websites, National Black Child Institute, and UNICEF; unfortunately I have not received any newsletter as yet. Both organizations have great information and updates on the topics of early childhood programs. I scrolled through the UNICEF website and I came across an article that touched on access to education for the children of Guinea. Unfortunately many of the children in Guinea don’t have access to quality education. As a result, actress Mia Farrow has dedicated her time and efforts advocating for children to have the opportunity to education. In Guinea, there is a lack of financial investments in the education systems, resulting in over crowded classes, and deplorable learning environments. The article affirmed to me that the topic of early childhood education and issues on equity not only affects children in the United States but all over the world. Although in the United States there is room for improvement, children have more opportunities to attend school. Even though accessibility to education affects children all over the world its great knowing that there are advocates pushing for quality education.
