Interventions that matter start with local cultures. Supercharge the potential of Early Childhood Education in Africa with Professor Seth Oppong

Early Childhood Education is being increasingly recognised as a powerful tool for children across the globe, and exploring what can be achieved during this important phase of development, and how communities go about this, falls on the shoulders of academics such as Professor Seth Oppong, from the University of Botswana. With a background in Psychology, and wide ranging research interests, Professor Oppong is well placed to open this topic for listeners across Africa and beyond. During this episode of Turning Point, Professor Oppong is interviewed by Joanna Marriott, as he unpacks the key priorities for Early Childhood Development (ECD) professionals, and considers the centrality of championing culture in classrooms and strategies that educators, NGOs, decision makers and Governments could use to unpack the latent potential of this phase of learning and ‘supercharge’ Foundational Literacy and Numeracy across the continent.
