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

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

Hello,
ReplyDeleteInteresting 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
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.

ReplyDeleteDiversity 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.
