Description:


UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova has opened the first ever World Conference on Early Childhood Care and Education in Moscow. The conference brings together ministers from 65 countries, along with experts, academics and practitioners of early childhood care and education. The conference is hosted by UNESCO, the Government of the Russian Federation and the City of Moscow.


The conference closed with participants adopting the Moscow Framework of Action, which outlines a number of challenges that must be tackled to achieve ECCE goals. These include a lack of political commitment, inadequate public funding, low external support and effective delivery of services. Poverty and cultural barriers in many parts of the world, including in occupied territories and conflict and disaster affected areas, also deny access to ECCE for millions of children.
