Strengthening Early Childhood Education through Innovation and Collaboration
The Ministry of Primary & Secondary Education, (MoPSE), Child Protection Society (CPS) and the University of Zimbabwe conducted a joint monitoring visit at Bondolfi Teachers’ College, last week, to witness the production of learning materials designed to support the implementation of Early Childhood Education (ECE) at scale.
The materials are being developed with commercial production and distribution in mind, creating an opportunity to strengthen access to quality ECE resources while supporting sustainable implementation across the education system.
As part of the collaboration, CPS is also providing technical support on the Smart Tablet Early Learning Assessment tool (STELA) to lecturers in the Infant Department, strengthening their capacity to prepare future educators to effectively assess and respond to the learning needs of young children.
The visit highlights what can be achieved when government, academia and development partners work together to strengthen the foundations of learning.*
