As part of the first regional forum on "Early Childhood Care in a Turbulent World: Development Strategies in Arab Countries," the Education Ministry participated.

More than 60 members and representatives from national networks, ministries, Arab and international organizations, as well as academics and researchers specializing in early childhood issues attended the event organized by the Arab Network for Early Childhood (ANECD).

At the forum, hosted by the Arab Council for Childhood and Development, Fatheya Ali Aish, Director of the Ministry of Education's Early Education Licensing and Follow-up Department, participated.

Through knowledge-production, networking, collaboration, and advocacy to influence policies, the forum will identify strategic directions for supporting and enhancing early childhood development in Arab countries.

Additionally, it provides an opportunity to discuss early childhood care realities, challenges, and ways to develop work areas. Furthermore, it will highlight ANECD's role in supporting early childhood research with its partners, as well as Arab nations' leading programs in this area.
