"Parents are the first teachers, shaping minds with love and guidance, and lighting the path to a child's educational journey, while teachers act as the compass, guiding children through the vast seas of knowledge." #EducationSymposium #GlobalEducators #DarEsSalaamEvent #HyattRegencyKilimanjaro #RevolutionizeEducation #EducationalExperience #InvaluableInsights #LearningRevolution #Daressalaam #tanzania #dzcafrica

In honor of #MandelaDay2024, I recognize that #Education is the most powerful tool for transforming communities. Today, I celebrate the #boychild who is dedicated to their education, despite the significant challenges faced in Kajiado. Some of these challenges include: #LongDistances: Children often walk over 30 kilometers to reach school. #Culture: In the MAA community, the importance of education is often unrecognized. #TeachersPlacement: A lack of infrastructure results in a shortage of qualified teachers. #CommunityOwnership: There is a lack of motivation for self and community development, hindering progress. Despite these obstacles, the dream remains alive when we extend our support and remind these children that there is light at the end of the tunnel INTERNATIONAL TREASURE HOUSE MINISTRIES INC #Childempowerment #Kajiado

As written in the National Education Day Commemoration Guidelines, the Ministry of Education and Culture suggested all agencies to create fun activities to celebrate National Education Day 2024. This all was to encourage public participation and raise enthusiasm for learning. Aruna and the Maritime Foundation celebrated the big day by giving school equipments and regularly donating books on general knowledge, religion, and fiction, at Aruna's operational points. The locations where Aruna donated the school equipment and books were spread all around the country, from Aceh, Lampung, Central Java, East Java, South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, North Maluku, to Papua. This donation aimed to support some of the learning needs of more than 500 coastal children who came from economically disadvantaged families. Since the ceremonial procession of this agenda was held in Muara Gading Mas Village, Labuhan Maringgai, Lampung, Aruna got the honor to have the attendance of the Village Head, representatives of BPJS TK, and representatives of the local Navy. Wahyono, the Head of Muara Gading Village, said, "The celebration reminds me of the three mottos in our educational system, one of which is, 'Tut Wuri Handayani', meaning: 'A teacher should be able to provide support and direction.' Well, this third point is manifested through an initiation like this. It doesn't have to be a big step to give a real positive impact." Fisher and coastal community regenerations were a paramount necessity as well as a strategic step to answer future challenges. In Papua, for example, there were only 36.1% of grade 3 elementary school students having adequate literacy skills. This made Aruna even more convinced that real support for the literacy of coastal children was something crucial to give. They were perceived to be the major successors that would keep their parents' work as fishers on going. They were believed to bring further blockbust to the industry. Utari Octavianty, the Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) of Aruna, affirmed, "Who will take care of our oceans in the future if not coastal children? With simple, concrete steps, let's prepare them to become the ultimate successors who will also manage our oceans in a much better way." #SeaForAll

From August 11-17, 2024, ChildFund International organized workshop of Protection and Well-being (EPW) program in Srilanka. It is is a global initiative developed by ChildFund to address the challenges of violence and ensure that children are learning in safe, supportive environments. Aiming to share the lessons learnt implementation of EPW from different countries, it provided valuable insights for its application in Indonesia. According to ivan tagor, our Program Specialist, who participated the workshop, EPW is a crucial program to support children in Indonesia. "This program will not only significantly help students achieve their educational goals but also assist parents and teachers in creating a mutually supportive environment both at school and at home, as the EPW program integrates social-emotional learning (SEL) with cognitive-behavioral skills training for children, teachers, and caregivers,’ he said. By enhancing relationships and promoting positive practices within schools and families, EPW aims to break the cycle of violence, ultimately leading to better protection, well-being, and educational outcomes for children. This is especially important as research from ChildFund, involving data from nearly 18,000 children across 17 countries, revealed that a significant number of students have witnessed or experienced violence at school. #ChildProtection #ChildFundIndonesia #EducationForProtectionAndWellBeing Husnul Maad Mitra Tobing

Our future leaders of South Africa deserve better! It is imperative to focus on the Early Childhood Development (ECD) phase to provide children with the opportunities they deserve. Children all deserve the right to be "ready for big school". Here are some alarming statistics regarding ECD in South Africa for 2023: 1. Access to ECD Services: Only about 50% of children aged 0-5 have access to any form of early childhood development programme, indicating a significant gap in coverage and accessibility - World Bank. 2. Quality of ECD Services: Many ECD centres lack essential resources, with over 60% facing shortages in crucial learning materials and proper infrastructure. This severely impacts the quality of education and care provided to young children - World Bank - UNICEF. 3. Government Funding: Government funding for ECD programmes is insufficient, covering only around 40% of the necessary costs to provide quality services. This underfunding contributes to the inability to expand and improve ECD services across the country - World Bank. 4. Nutrition and Health: Malnutrition remains a critical issue, with 27% of children under five experiencing stunting due to chronic malnutrition. This statistic underscores the urgent need for integrated health and nutrition interventions within ECD programmes - Stats SA 5. Teacher Training: Less than 30% of ECD practitioners have received formal training, which adversely affects the quality of early childhood education and care. Ensuring that educators are properly trained is vital for delivering high-quality ECD services - World Bank - UNICEF. These statistics highlight the urgent need for increased investment, support, and policy attention to ensure that all South African children have access to quality early childhood development opportunities.
