Winners of 2nd Edition of Africa Early Childhood Education Awards

The 2nd Edition of Africa Early Childhood Education Awards held in Accra on November 19th, 2022 saw over 40 ward winners being honoured for their contributions to Early Childhood Education in Africa.

While delivering her speech as the Special Guest Of Honour Speech at the 2022 Africa Early Childhood Education Awards in Accra, the Dr Violet Makuku called on the government and other stakeholders to help early childhood educators deliver by providing both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

According to her such award events and recognitions are “important extrinsic motivational factors which, when combined with their intrinsic drive, can make more and better things happen to our young children in schools.”

She charged “government, the NGOs and other key stakeholders to work together and support the schools and staff in these academic institutions, through all the possible means”
