Each of these topics pertain to the current efforts to

goals of these research tactics are to improve the capacity of African
countries to attain early childhood programs by laying a strong foundation,
especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Also, to
increase understanding among stakeholders of the importance of children’s early
development and learning as a key ingredient in children’s success.
The efforts to promote early childhood and secondary
education worldwide takes on a variety of research and projects in order to
attain the goal of global education available for everyone. The “Brain Gain”
video tells the success stories and the accomplishments of graduates who participated
in the ECDVU program.
I found the international article on the World Bank project on
efforts for the country of Guyana to be extremely interesting as my family is originally
from there. The project proposes a secondary education improvement project for
Guyana to strengthen the capacity of secondary school mathematics teachers
nationwide, and to increase enrollment in general secondary schools in targeted
regions.
The video for Brain Gain is below. Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MykI_YQQkdM&list=PLB13EEF302E2C8F23
I am glad to see that as educators we are able to find so many interesting things that give us hope. From all the links that the professor posted this week, you chose this one, what make you choose this webpage? For instance I chose to know more about Australia school program, I know that you mentioned that your family is from Guyana, but there is another reason for choosing this webpage?
