Report on Inclusive early childhood education and care in Southern and Eastern Africa. Action Research Projects 2018-2022

Abstract

This report presents the results of a professional development project in early childhood education (ECE), whose aim was to develop knowledge and strategies to promote inclusive education for all children in their early years. The project was introduced following the end of the Capacity Building Network (CBN), a network of early childhood teacher education institutions founded in 1999 in East and South Africa and Norway. This network provided opportunities to share and develop knowledge and experiences of early childhood in order to establish a sound and relevant basis for early childhood teacher education. The CBN project included institutions from seven countries: Botswana, Kenya, Mazambique, Namibia, Estwatini, Tanzania, Norway.
