Early Childhood: Canada Must Invest More In Early Childhood Education

Early Childhood Name: Institution: Course: Date: Article #1 Canada must invest more in early childhood education, says new report Part A: Summary In a recent Canadian led report, the early childhood education report of 2017, points to the fact that the government is failing at ensuring that early childhood education is accessible for the masses compared to other developed countries. Canada was ranked last compared to other developed countries and much of these is not because there not programs already designed to enhance access but because the implementation process is rather slow. Since the year 2004, there have been some element of growth but they have not been sufficient to ensure nationwide access to quality education for the youngsters.it is important to recognize the importance of the early child education not just to the children but also to the nation in terms of future development and the quality of students that the country is likely to produce (McCuaig, 2018). World economies are dependent on one another and it calls to the government to make sure that tomorrow’s workforce is well educated and ready to take on the responsibilities. There are child care unites and school oriented programs. However, it is important to note that most of the child care programs are expensive for most families and as such they are not accessible for most of the children. However, the government should consider the use of the already existing school programs for the preschoolers. Using the already existing platform is much easier that having to streamline the child care facilities to conform to the universal standards. Purpose and perspective This is an article that is intended for the policy makers, school heads, and child care administrators among with the parents. The purpose of the article is to sensitize the relevant authorities especially the government officials in the education sector and even those in the education sector on the need to streamline the provision of early childhood education (McCuaig, 2018). Personal reflection and thoughts I personally feel that, there is need for a faster implementation of the programs that are already established in the sector. There some very significant programs and policies that should be implemented so as to see some improvement on the education access for the preschoolers. More importantly, the element of using the child care facilities is a complicated one. This is relative to the fact that most of these do not use the standard established by the universal community. As such, it is much easier to use the schools systems which are already established and much easier to streamline. These will also be much more effective in establishing the quality and access levels required. The child care facilities will take time to streamline and they also run the risk disfranchising the education systems for the preschoolers as each of the facilities uses their own approaches to teach the youngsters.
