"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge."
- Thomas Edison
RECORD ATTENDANCE AT
WORLD FORUM
The 2003 World Forum on Early Care and Education took place last
week in Acapulco, Mexico, with the largest attendance of any World Forum...
* Over 670 delegates from 73 nations registered for the World Forum. Unfortunately,
36 delegates from 18 nations were denied entry visas by the Mexican government.
Nations excluded were Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Egypt,
Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Krygyzstan, Nigeria, Romania, Sri Lanka, Swaziland,
Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Zambia.
* Most delegates were center directors, NGO leaders and trainers. However,
this year the Forum was enriched by the active participation of the mayor of
Bogota, Columbia; and the Ministers of Education from Indonesia, Kenya, Mali
and Singapore.
* Delegates participated in over 60 plenaries and workshops on such varied
topics as leadership, advocacy, HIV/AIDS, media violence, infant/toddler care,
managing creativity, staff development, curriculum models, indicators of quality
and world wide early childhood trends.
