DESCRIPTION
Education is the best investment, any society can make for the health and well-being of its children, as well as its economic and social progress. Education is development. It creates choices and opportunities for people, reduces the twin burdens of poverty and diseases, and gives a stronger voice in society. For nations it creates a dynamic workforce and well-informed citizens able to complete and cooperate globally- opening doors to economic and social prosperity. Education takes place throughout life in many forms, none of which ought to be exclusive.
This encyclopaedia publication aims to provide the fundamental aspects of education in the 21st century. It is organised into four volumes, each covering the key areas of education in our times- Early Childhood Care and Education, Women Education, Health and Nutrition Education and HIV/AIDS Education. The educational needs, current trends, opportunities and challenges in each field are described in detail. This work will be an essential reading for all who related with education, health and development.
