In light of the upcoming International Day of the Girl Child, FAWE is organising a webinar on access to universal basic education completion and foundational learning. Early childhood education (ECE) holds exciting potential to develop in learners a gender-sensitive view, shaping the life choices they will make later in life. While it is generally accepted that boys and girls should be given a range of opportunities to thrive, achieving equality for all learners remains challenging.
It is therefore important for different stakeholders to collectively invest sufficiently to address the challenges in the education sector so that all children, especially girls, can catch up, return to school and transition to higher levels of learning.
The main objectives for this webinar are:
- To highlight contributions to the advancement of gender-responsive ECE learning and child rights
- To bring together a pool of expert organisations to discuss the current outlook in education access and the future of girls
- To enhance advocacy efforts, especially for gender-responsive pedagogy for ECE.
VVOB gives an overview of the GRP4ECE toolkit and delves into the lessons learnt.

GRP4ECE toolkit
VVOB, Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) and public education partners in Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia have joined forces to develop a practical approach to gender-responsive pedagogy for early childhood education (GRP4ECE). The GRP4ECE toolkit empowers preschool teachers and school leaders to challenge gender stereotypes where they can do the most harm, but where they can also be challenged most effectively: the classroom. An environment free of stereotypes lays a firm foundation for young children to grow up freely exploring and developing their unique interests and talents.
