Indigenous Early Childhood Care and Education (IECCE) curriculum framework for Africa

The booklet provides the curriculum framework for the modules developed. It highlights the method of delivery and the underlining principles of the care and education for a holistic development of the African child. The specialty of the IECCE model is that it is “eco-cultural”, taking into account the different environmental systems in which a child grows. Five different environments have been identified in the design of the curriculum and its delivery to make the applicability of the approach exhaustive. For ensuring benefits of the programme, the booklet gives hints about the requirements of resources and instructional material support, gives detailed guidelines for teachers and caregivers about assessment methods and emphasizes on the need for partnership with all stakeholders.
