Conclusions and next steps

Dr Kedrace Turyagenda (Director

of

the Directorate of Education Standards) outlined the next steps in her closing address:

“What is amazing about this meeting is the meeting of minds, in terms of the outcomes of the voting process… there is unanimity on the emphasis on social mobilisation and advocacy; that starts with the parents, the communities, and then government… and there is unanimity that this must be approached as a multisectoral response… it puts ECCE into the correct perspective… and then finally the other emphasis on strengthening coordination, quality assurance, standards, monitoring and evaluation.”

• The timing of the Symposium enables its outputs, including the agreed priorities, to link into the processes of the Education and Sports Sector Review (ESSR) - which brings together the MoES with Ministry of Local Government and Ministry of Gender. A number of Symposium participants will also be invited to the ESSR as ECCE advocates and champions.

• The identified priorities will contribute to the action planning for the ECCE Policy.
