Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 2

One of my insights I have learned is that Zambian Early Childhood Development Project created comprehensive instrument for helping children physical, socio-emotional and cognitive development through their years in school.

My second insight in May of  2010 they created the Zambian child assessment test that measure child development with the new and the old develop items which to provide a broad assessment of preschool children in Zambian context.

For my third and final insight I find out that a Zambian child have not every seen toys or household items, for example like scissors that are most likely use in tests out  in the West.

My issue of equity and excellence from international sources from the Zambian Early Childhood Development Project stated that Zambia language and vocabulary have 70 different languages are spoken with make learning vocabulary difficult. Zambian Early Childhood Development Project hopes that they can collect enough data information that will help improve child development in the context but also identify key interventions that can rapidly change a developing world.

 Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 1

Website information: (http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/)

Information about China:

    

      As I was looking through the information I want to write my paper on China because I gain a lot of information that I did not know about China.

     

     China is a poor urban country that residents with a local hukou (household registration) who have been laid off work and cannot find jobs. According to the Childhood poverty.org, it states that the government aid for their main source of income. The childhood poverty it states that in 2001 it was 1.27 million in China that strides in poverty. By the website of www.childhood poverty.org, the economic growths have been Stover in the western China, leading to higher poverty rates.

    

      I have gained a lot of insight on the children that is living in poverty. In the website Urban mean that some China are concerns about the amounts that allocated too small to meet the people’s basic needs for food, clothing, and education that allow families to pay the education fee. I think that they need to “improve the migrant families” to give them away in to the government and the community assistance to have equal right to urban services as long as they can.
