Gender Equity in Early Childhood Education

Annotation-- Ban Ki-mon speaking on ECCD

The event preludes the adoption of the new United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will officially include early childhood development as part of the transformative agenda for 2015 and beyond.

UNICEF is highlighting that early childhood development provides a natural link between the new global goals, producing a multiplier effect that can help address poverty, improve health and nutrition, promote gender equality, and reduce violence.

The Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon shared this message, underlining that investing in early childhood development “does not just benefit children, it benefits societies.”
