Inclusion is about everyone. Inclusive Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) therefore requires valuing and respecting the unique needs of every child, and to include all children regardless of their characteristics and backgrounds. While Education For All (EFA) Goal 1 calls for action on expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have had a positive impact on every young childs rights to survive and thrive, progress in achieving equity and reaching the most disadvantaged children and their families is rather slow globally. The policy imperative has been accepted, but subsequent action－operationalisation－has been difficult to achieve. This paper attempts to discuss regional perspectives on inclusive ECCD by introducing some noteworthy initiatives that address children in disadvantaged circumstances and points to inclusive elements of ECCD. It further suggests the need to generate more evidence specific to the country and to the region on what works in order to influence policy action and practice improvement.
Abstract
Inclusion is about everyone. Inclusive Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) therefore requires valuing and respecting the unique needs of every child, and to include all children regardless of their characteristics and backgrounds. While Education For All (EFA) Goal 1 calls for action on expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have had a positive impact on every young childs rights to survive and thrive, progress in achieving equity and reaching the most disadvantaged children and their families is rather slow globally. The policy imperative has been accepted, but subsequent action－operationalisation－has been difficult to achieve. This paper attempts to discuss regional perspectives on inclusive ECCD by introducing some noteworthy initiatives that address children in disadvantaged circumstances and points to inclusive elements of ECCD. It further suggests the need to generate more evidence specific to the country and to the region on what works in order to influence policy action and practice improvement.
