Description:

We have spent much time and energy as a society creating policies for early childhood. But increasingly it is becoming evident that the middle years, ages 6 to 12, need the attention of policy-makers as well. In her presentation, Building a Policy Framework for Middle Childhood: Considerations, Judi Varga-Toth, CPRN Assistant Director, takes a look at existing policies in Europe and Quebec and suggests areas where policies could be implemented. Judi Varga-Toth's presentation was made last November to the Middle Childhood Policy Forum at Strathmere House in Ottawa.
