Strong foundations for gender equality in early childhood care and education: advocacy brief Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: UNESCO The term Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) refers to services for children from birth to eight years of age. These include educating parents in how to care for their children and help them learn, as well as providing community-run and formal preschool programmes for pre-primary school-aged boys and girls. Given the varying needs of children from birth to eight years, educators have found it best to have different policies and strategies for children below and above three years of age. This brief focuses on the gender issues in the services provided for children who are three years of age or older in the Asia-Pacific region. Its scope is informed by UNESCO's commitment to holistic pre-primary services for this age group. The goal is to provide early childhood education that helps girls and boys succeed in primary school and in learning throughout their lives. The brief starts by looking into the growth of ECCE in the Asia-Pacific region and what is driving this growth. It explores why gender responsiveness is important in early childhood education, gives practical examples of what this looks like, and discusses the challenges of providing ECCE that equally values and benefits each girl and each boy. Flowing from this, the brief concludes with recommendations on how to make ECCE more gender responsive De solides fondations pour l'égalité des sexes dans les soins de la petite enfance et de l'éducation: le plaidoyer bref Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: UNESCO Le terme de l’éducation et la protection de la petite enfance (EPPE) fait référence aux services pour les enfants de la naissance à huit ans. Ceux-ci incluent l'éducation des parents dans la façon de prendre soin de leurs enfants et de les aider à apprendre, ainsi que de fournir des programmes formels préscolaires gérés par la communauté et pour les garçons et les filles d'âge scolaire pré-primaire.

Ce bref se concentre sur les questions de genre dans les services fournis aux enfants qui sont de trois ans ou plus dans la région Asie-Pacifique. Son champ d'application est informé par l'engagement de l'UNESCO aux services pré-primaires holistiques pour ce groupe d'âge. L'objectif est de fournir une éducation de la petite enfance qui aide les filles et les garçons à réussir à l'école primaire et dans l'apprentissage tout au long de leur vie. Les brèves commence par la recherche dans la croissance de l'EPPE dans la région Asie-Pacifique et ce qui est le moteur de cette croissance. Il explore pourquoi le genre de réaction est important dans l'éducation de la petite enfance, donne des exemples concrets de ce que cela ressemble, et examine les défis de fournir EPPE que de façon égale les valeurs et les avantages de chaque fille et chaque garçon. Découlant de cela, le mémoire se termine par des recommandations sur la façon de rendre sensible EPPE plus le sexe.
