Participants from our eight-week online course, 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, are making sure that #ECE is no longer on the sidelines of planning. Christopher Peter, Project Officer at the Tanzania ECD Network, says the gap between policy goals and implementation is where ECE often loses visibility. “When ECE is not explicitly planned and budgeted for, it risks being treated as an add-on rather than a core component of system performance,” Peter says. But thanks to this course, offered with UNESCO and EOF, he is making strides on how ECE is planned for in Tanzania. “The most valuable aspect of the course was its strong emphasis on practical education sector planning and financing,” he says. 💡 Learn more about his experience ➡️ https://bit.ly/3R2WacF 🎓 Want to train with IIEP?
