The United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) hosts many different conferences
and conventions one being The Convention on the Rights of the Child accepted in
193 countries as the rights of children as individuals. November 20th
is a universal holiday Children’s Day. The UNESCO holds a convention this day
with ambassadors from all over the world this day as has a specials honorary
guest as well. The Rights of Child gives policy makers and activist the ability
to speak on children behalf regarding education. To enforce policy changes and
enforce the need for equity and high quality education for all children. Today still
there are about 761 million children lacking literacy skills and the Rights of
the Child fight to reduce these numbers. The further I search through the website
I am learning of new resources for my learning in the ECE field. I subscribed to
the UNESCO newsletter to stay afloat with their stories and changes throughout
the Nations.
“As children represent the future,
their best interest is our best interest” says Qian Tang.
