Early Childhood Education in the Arabian Peninsula: Contributions for Early Years Curriculum Transformation Through Research, Reflection and Practice (en Inglés) - Daniela Coelho

Early Childhood Education in the Arabian Peninsula explores the challenges, achievements and opportunities within the Arab region's Early Childhood Education (ECE) landscape, bridging global educational frameworks with culturally responsive practices.

Organized into three sections, it offers a comprehensive exploration of milestones, educational frameworks, and success stories in the region with a strong practical component that can contribute to early years curriculum development. Despite the immense progress made in many Arabian Peninsula countries in the field in the last decade, there are still areas that require considerable improvement with some major priorities being inclusion and well-being, quality of ECE workforce and its training, and culturally sensitive curriculum development.

This book will serve as a roadmap to transforming ECE in the Arabian Peninsula, providing support to stakeholders in their task of reimagining ECE and of creating solid, research-based and region-oriented frameworks and curricula. It will be an indispensable resource for policymakers, researchers but, especially, for educators.
