The World Organization For Early Childhood Education's goal is to ensure that every child, no matter what background, race or location is entitled to a great education. It is a non-profit child advocacy organization. In 1948, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) have policies in place to guarantee that all children have the right to good health, well-being, and education so that they can develop their full potential. One committee the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), believes that if we give children all the tools they need to learn society as a whole will benefit. Leading economists agree that the best economic decision a country can make is to invest in the children. (ECEC) promotes equity for all children regardless of disabilities, location, rich, or poor. The World Organization For Early Childhood Education (OMEP) is made up of college professors, preschool teachers, parents policymakers, librarians doctors, nurses, advocates and activists. All are working toward the goal of equity globally in the early childhood education. (OMEP) is the oldest and largest international organization that focuses on early childhood education.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and sharing on information on OMEP. I am glad the OMEP is made up of a variety of persons that advocate on the behalf of early childhood but more so our preschool teachers and parents. Many times these two crucial sets of persons are often neglected and they have a multitude of information that can change the faces of early childhood for the good. I believe other organizations need to take a page out of the books of OMEP. I believe we would be on our way to eliminating many of the issues that plague early childhood
It is vital to society that our children are given the proper tools to have a healthy life to guarantee well-being and education. I know that it sounds cliche when we say that the children are our future, but it is a fact. We must put more concentration into the early childhood education because it is the most important part of a child's development.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteThis ia a great post with a lot of useful information. From what I'm learning the OMEP does a lot of good work in the field of education.
