Equity in Early Childhood Education In Thailand


What I gained from the Pod Cast.
Families in Northern Thailand feel education is important and it begins with families. Families play a vital role in the well being of children.
Government day care is provided to families in need in Thailand.
The responsibility of early childhood education is for families, communities, and government responsibility to ensure children are receiving early childhood education.   
 In Indonesia less than 4 % of public investment is made in education and development occurring at ages 0-3.
Age 0-3 is the stage where the most brain development occurs.
In Indonesia 0-3 is the most neglected age group when it comes to education.

What I gained from Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website

  1. Mental health is an issue that is not addressed properly in children around the world. It is urgent to identify the problem and create effective policies that are responsive in different cultures. 
  2. The center of the developing child at Harvard University has developed a project that will use the science of child health and development to guide stronger policies and larger investments to benefit young children and their families in Brazil.
  3.  The center “A Good Start,” is a project in Santiago, Chile, to improve early childhood education. The idea is to improve the quality of educational offerings for four-to-six-year-olds, particularly in the area of language development.

    Tiffany, I also enjoyed the information on the Global Children's Initiative from the Center on the Developing Child. I was so impressed with A Good Start, the project in Chile focused on teacher professional development leading to better language development for preschool children. It is interesting that this initiative supports children's health and social-emotional development too. Thanks also for sharing the perspective of families in Northern Thailand--it is amazing to learn that so few resources are allocated for the youngest children. -Susan

    Tiffany,

    It looks like Thailand believes in investing in their children on all levels. I wonder if standardized assessment big over there?

    The way you presented the information I was able to get a lot of information. Thank you for sharing this information with us. It is so frustrating to know what needs to be done to properly educate our children but we are still fighting to do it correctly.

    This is a great post. I am learning about education in different cultures. I like how Thailand believe that families believe in education. When you have families supporting your child in education it helps children to be successful in life.
