Our Country Leads gather and share information about childhood education practices and policies in various nations
Childhood Education International’s Country Lead program is a network of volunteer leads from various nations around the world. Our Country Leads work in many areas of childhood education and child welfare and include teachers, education administrators, professionals in academia, representatives from both government and non-governmental organizations, consultants, and other education experts. Country Leads have substantial networks within their nations and regions, which allow them to support CE International’s mission.
The purpose of the Country Lead program is to gather information about childhood education practices and policies in various nations, share this information with the CE International Community, provide information to support the development of CE International’s programs, and promote international and intercultural understanding.
