Education has a place at the heart of society as an essential vehicle for cultivating intercultural and interdisciplinary understanding and cooperation. Education advocacy can be particularly effective through the use of diplomatic skills within a broader framework of Education Diplomacy—the cross-disciplinary, transnational sharing of theories, ideas, and concepts that advance education. Through Education Diplomacy, we can catalyze education reform and human advancement. It is an approach to the education profession that requires continuous knowledge gathering, creation, and sharing; an awareness of oneself as much as an appreciation of relationships with others; and sensitivity to the contextual and cultural complexities to theory and practice in the field. - See more at: http://acei.org/advocacy/advocacy#sthash.pI0sNIi0.dpuf

Learning More about Hong Kong

The Country I decided to study and get more insight on was Hong Kong. Three things I found interest on the sight was that Every moment of every day, UNICEF is on the ground providing lifesaving help for children in need. This is quiet interesting to me because not everyone believe in helping.

In 2012:

Basic Education: UNICEF helped 3.56 million school-aged children, including adolescents, accessing formal and non-formal basic education (including temporary learning spaces and play and early learning for young children). I like to see children that want to learn and want help be able to get help to continue their education.

Child-friendly Schools: Over 120 countries reported that they have developed or are developing quality standards based on UNICEF’s child-friendly schools initiative or similar approaches.

Education Policy: With UNICEF support, 73 countries have put in place national policies on universal school readiness and 63 countries have developed standards for early learning and development.  All information was obtain from the website provided. Feel free to visit this website to check out other things that may catch your eyes. (http://www.unicef.org/socialpolicy/index_childpoverty.html),

Exploring the Acei website

ACEI is the website I decided to explore and learn new things. This website is an internationally website that focus mainly on children education their mission statement is to promote and support the optimal education, development, and well-being of children worldwide. We have consultative status with the United Nations. After exploring the website, I learned that no matter where you live you still deserves equal chances in education. This website has so much to offer and you will learn a lot. Something that caught my eye was the article Kidnapping of Schoolgirls in Nigeria. This caught my eye because kidnapping is getting outrageous around the world. After reading the article it wasn’t just one girl it was 200+ girls. How was that possible? Was this planned? How could you get away with all these girls and no one notice? All of these would be questions I would ask. Please go to the website below and explore.
