Since I already know about UNICEF, I followed one of the outside links that I knew nothing about until this week's blog assignment. I started exploring United Nations Girls Education Initiative(UNGEI). I found several outside links with a lot of different information,but this one stood out the most to me. This website is provided through UNICEF's website. The United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI) is a partnership of organizations committed to narrowing the gender gap in primary and secondary education. It also seeks to ensure that, by 2015, all children complete primary schooling, with girls and boys having equal access to free, quality education. UNGEI is determined and committed to accelerating action on girls’ education and revitalizing the broad social mobilization and high-level political action that is needed to ensure that every girl, as well as every boy, goes to school. UNGEI focus on girls and boys empowered through quality education to realize their full potential.(http://www.ungei.org/). UNGEI serves as an education for girls. They have different countries such as Africa, Asia, Australia, and Oceania which all claim partnerships for girls education.

All the newsletters that I look at stress the importance of education and a new gender report produceed with UNGEI, was launched to report on global progress in achieving gender equity and equality in education since the year 2000.They also stated in the newsletter that it was time to shift the focus towards gender because girls will be band from benefiting education. This comes from report findings. I feel that we should not want anything to stand in the way of girls and boys getting a great education because they need this to be successful and reach their highest potential. Gender based violence is going on in schools especially with girls not having rights to a safe inclusive quality education.

The information that I found on this website is related to everything that we have talked about up until now. I really like that every website I explore they always talk about quality early childhood programs and a quality education for young children. Gender does affect equity and excellence in early childhood education. Educators should always make sure that young children are provided with a quality education. As teachers we have a lot to be concern about and be dedicated to committing to help young children to the best of our ability. We need to strive to serve children and support them daily because parents are their first teachers,but we fall next in providing a quality learning experience.
