I look forward to the session days as it's been a while since I've been able to garner some intellectual stimulation. I really enjoy every part of the program whether it is the course content, the classroom interactions, or the reflection tasks. I was looking for credible insights into the Finnish Curriculum and this course has turned out to be a good start. The Indian contextual lens through KLAY is an added bonus and a stronghold of the curriculum. Working through a Foundational education course is an added advantage to my qualifications that will help in my growth trajectory
In this rapidly changing world, there is no doubting the significance of a child’s early years and thereby the need for skilled early childhood education professionals. Preschool teachers in India usually need to have a basic graduation degree and to have done a training course in nursery teaching. However, this basic qualification is now insufficient. On the other hand, those early childhood educators who have invested in honing their skills are currently being flooded with opportunities. The career options for skilled professionals in education are at all-time high.

To begin with, Early Childhood Care and Education in India encapsulates the period from conception through eight years of age. The first eight years of a child’s life are critical. Since the rate of development in 0-8 years is more rapid than at any other age, significance of early years is beyond debate in today’s world. Research in neuro-science confirms the importance of the early years in a child’s life particularly since 85% of brain development has already taken place by the time a child is six years of age.

2020 is the “year of small things” but this year has taught great lessons to everyone. Teachers across the globe are no exception; they have not only learned the art of virtual classrooms but have also designed the curriculum overnight to meet this new demand. While you are reading this, a teacher from Rwanda might be getting up early morning to broadcast her lessons on the radio or a preschool teacher in India may be planning to jump, dance and sing to a screen as if she is conducting her circle time.

With children out of school, physical distancing as the new norm, and children’s rights under threat, the new world order has “turned back the clock” on years of progress made on children’s well-being. However, it’s not all bad. As a human race, we’ve been built to adapt: we’ve seen a tipping point in technology-enabled education and the promise of a new education policy in our country.
