Knowledge varies substantially between countries., very little is
known. There may be statistics showing the number of families in poverty or
percentage of children undernourished. But what poverty means for families -
and how the ways they cope affect children may not be understood. In other
countries, more is known overall, but information about children in particular
groups - such as among disadvantaged minorities or in isolated areas - is
lacking.
· Research focuses
on specific aspects of childhood and is rarely well linked together. Internationally,
children and childhood have attracted much research. However, this research has
tended to focus on particular areas of education, health, psychology, or on
particular groups of children such a street children or child workers. Often
this knowledge is not brought together.
· Impacts of key
development policies on children are poorly understood or documented. The debate
continues as to which policies or sets of policies are most effective in
reducing poverty overall. However, even policies that reduce poverty overall
It is important as Educators that we remain connected to the
issues an trend which are unfolding in the realm of Child Advocacy and
Development- We should stay engaged and connected.
I read through one resource that in really poor areas record keeping is poor at best, even if any exist at all. This has made it next to impossible to gather need data to apporpriately address children's needs.
ReplyDeleteI was able to make contact, but only by phone. It was then that I was given a working email address for further contacts. Stay Encouraged.
Jordann,
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to make contacts either, but I might contact local homes for abandoned children on the long run. Truly, what poverty means for families, and the effect on children are left to be imagined. Although we might not get the accurate proportion, we are able to deduce that poverty exists in our communities.
