Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 3


This week I visited the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization website or UNEDCO.  This website is again one that I knew nothing about but yet found very interesting.  The first thing I found out about this organization is that it is located in Paris, France.  The second thing I saw as I explored this website is that it can be translated into several different languages.  It can be translated into English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.  I think this is really good and showing their diversity and acknowledgement of all the various individuals involved or interested in their organization.  While this website covers other topics as it, as it name suggest, I was mainly interested in the Education portion of the website.  Under the Education portion there are a few links for additional information on various actions, beliefs, or thoughts on the framework of a program as it relates to quality along with access, funding, and quality.  And just like my professional goal of aiding programs move from one stage to another through the working knowledge and attainment of seek a high quality program that parents look and long for that offers children in their care a well-rounded diverse program.  The last thing I found interesting on this website is the international educational goals formulated that will allow all children no matter their age and adults and learning option that will exceed their academic dream.   This goals are as follows:

“Education for All Goals

Six internationally agreed education goals aim to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults by 2015.

Goal 1
Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

Goal 2
Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to, and complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.

Goal 3
Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes.

Goal 4
Achieving a 50 per cent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.

Goal 5
Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality.

Goal 6
Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills.” UNESCO, (n.d.)

  1. Hello,

    Interesting Post! I did not know that this program was founded in Paris, France. I really enjoyed how this serves as an international purpose. Having this program in a braded, spectrum of light can place great servitude to different comminutes locally and even abroad. I also enjoyed how you placed out certain goals recognized within the program. I really too note to Goal #1, as it called for placing care and education for children who are “vulnerable” and “disadvantaged”. This is of great concern, due to the fact that ALL children, no matter their condition need accurate help and care in the education field. There should be no stereotypes and all children should be treated fairly and equally.

    Great Post!! ~Adrea Reavis

  2. I also didn't have no idea that this organization existed but yet so interesting. This agency does a tremendous job in helping children. I really did fall in love with it because it doesn't make a different in races, nor gender. I had no idea that girls are treated differently than boys in the world, I guess that why there are good educators like Walden University professors to help me to learn. Good Blog.

  3. Hi Quandra

    Diversity is very important to aiding support in education. A website that shows this kind of diversity wants to ensure that everyone in the world can participate and assist in spreading education to every child around the world.
