I recently subscribe to the newsletter and
blog of the UNICEF. As of yet I have not received any alerts notifying me of a
current newsletter. The reason why I subscribed to this stay afloat with the
issues and changes in the Early Childhood field globally. I reviewed the last
blog post from May 15th, 2014 “World We Want, youth journalist from
Burundi speaks out.” This post addresses the changes our youth globally would
want executed. Now all the changes mentioned are not solely related directly
with education however education is the start to facilitating the changes. To
better understand the perspective given WORLD WE WANT is a platform through
Civil Society teenagers and young adults from around the world discussing their
idea world. The most interesting viewpoint “Education
is the key to solving all issues. If we had better quality education, some
youth would create companies after finishing university. Then other youth could
benefit from newly created jobs. In this way, the country could become
economically developed ().” This is the voice of Peace a 16 year old young journalist from East Africa. We as
professionals are striving to change the world through education. This blog
post hits home with me because I truly agree all change starts with education.
My goal as an early childhood professional is to be an advocate in facilitating
change.

I really like the way education influences all people, even younger adults. It is obvious that the importance of education on our children has tremendous impact in their lives and it is up to us to provide the best possible educational system for them. This is why we need to focus on improving and enhancing educational systems at a younger age for children to have access to. Thanks for sharing a great post!
