Sharing about OMEP

The World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP) is an international, non- governmental and non- profit organization concerned with all aspects of early childhood education and care (ECEC).

OMEP defends and promotes the rights of the child to education and care worldwide and supports activities which improve accessibility to high quality education and care.

OMEP is currently established in over 70 countries and is represented at meetings of UNESCO, UNICEF and other international organizations with similar aims.

OMEP is providing education and care for Syria's littlest refugees who represent an example of the issue of demographic change. There is a very big refugee camp in Jordan where Syrians have already spent three years. Today, Syrians are massively taking refuge in Europe and soon in the United States  of America which promised to grant asylum to ten thousand Syrians.

  1. Marlene,

    It is important that all children receive a fair share at education. It is wonderful that organizations such as the OMEP, UNESCO, UNICEF, and the Harlem Children's Zone provide educational opportunities for children at risk, low socioeconomic backgrounds, and that are in poverty.
    As far as providing refuge for Syria, it is great to know that the United States is taking part in the future. That is great that we will be able to grant asylum for 10,000 Syrians.
