October 10: Modelling infrastructure for literacy and quality early education in poor kindergartens of Romania

– A stop in Bistrița for the World Education Day –

Teachers from Bistrita Nasaud area, October 2017

Over 70 preschool teachers and education specialists played their part in finding the answers during the first regional training session – of a series of 10 – organized by OvidiuRo in Bistrița last week.

The Network of Teachers for Quality Early Education from Bistrița Năsăud county and neighboring areas reunited to share best practices from the Șotron Summer Programs they had organized the past summer and to further model teaching methods focusing on reading, literacy and science to the benefit of hundreds of disadvantaged children in the region.

As an “Agency for Early Education”, OvidiuRo continues to advocate for quality early education for ALL. Utilizing private resources, OvidiuRo works closely with public sector officials and kindergarten teachers, providing teacher training and educational resources of the highest quality, and helping poor villages spawn additional kindergarten groups [or classes?] so no child is turned away from gradinita because of “lack of space” or educational resources.

For the 2017-2018 school year, OvidiuRo aims at training at least 1000 teachers and at supporting kindergartens in Romania’s poorest rural communities with minimal infrastructure for early literacy and quality education.
