Supporting Early Childhood Education Teachers in Refugee Settings
Early childhood education is crucial to all children - but especially for child refugees, many of whom have suffered significant trauma. However, access to quality early learning is often extremely limited, poorly resourced and chronically under-funded. That is the conclusion of a new Theirworld report which analysed ECE provision in refugee settings around the world. Theirworld believes that quality ECE can be delivered to every refugee child if teachers are equipped with the right knowledge and tools. Our report - Supporting Early Childhood Education Teachers in Refugee Settings - identifies four key ways that this can be achieved.
