TEACHER EDUCATION INITIATIVES

Why Early Childhood Education (ECE)?

Researchers have long considered early childhood education to be not only beneficial for children, but also an important prelude to kindergarten, elementary school and even high school and secondary education. Early childhood education is widely recognized as the precursor to successful lifelong learning, and children from socially or economically disadvantaged environments are in the most need.   PACE therefore has introduced several initiatives to improve the quality of child care and early childhood education in Canada.


ECE Bursaries

Canada - PACE encourages training for second-year students of early childhood education at a Canadian college
, by providing funding assistance through several Bursaries The PACE Education Committee administers this fund.  Guidelines are contained in the Bursary Application Form below:

Jamaica - PACE also provides an annual DRB Grant Scholarship for a Jamaican ECE student at Shortwood Teachers College in Jamaica.  The grant is  administered through the Dudley Grant Memorial Trust at the University of the West Indies.


ECE Students & Teachers Exchange Program

Since 2001 PACE has worked in partnership with George Brown College  to support the annual exchange of ECE students and teachers between Basic Schools in Jamaica and the George Brown College program.

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.

French novelist

(1844 - 1924)
