I do not look at them as a consequence but as a new awareness. Many countries struggle with the somethings as us in the United States. Teachers who are not sufficiently trained, inequity in the types and amounts of care children receive and funding for the under privileged.
In come countries they are just now realizing that the early years are just as important as the middle childhood. Therefore teachers are either bring down older child curriculum or are just not schooled in how to care for children birth to age eight.
The care some children receive may not be the best or teachers maybe overwhelmed by caring for too many children. Those children who do receive quality care come from families who have money.
The children who need the care the most cannot receive it because there is no or little money to fund care in their country or city.
There are many organization who are working on these children behalf. My goal would be to continue looking at my chosen site and becoming a member. What will make it easy is there is a local chapter just down the road from my house that I can become active in once I am done with come of my prior commitments.
Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you. Dr. Seuss

UNESCO website
They support inclusive care and education. They are a group that has many different types of member from different countries and organizations such as UNICEF and Aga Khan foundation for Asia and East Africa.
They would like to insure equal access to early education for all especially the poor and ask that countries redistribute fund so all can have access to early care and education.
They like the fact that parents should be involve in the education of their young child and the education should be relevent and have play incorporated in the day.
UNESCO has written a brief in regards to coordinating service and making sure that recommendation to the government leader are heard. This can be done by making sure thae committee is attached to a particular agency or leader. This needs to happen so that the time spent on these committees is not for nothing.

Debt Crisis affect ALL
With the debt ceiling deal done and signed we thought everything would be fine. Wrong! Now is the time to start advocating for the program we hold dear to us that have federal money attached to them. Headstart is one of those programs. The executive director is asking all that are involved in Headstart or know of the program to talk to their congressmen, over their summer break, to keep the funding level as is. There are even question you can use if you cannot think of your own.
