Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI)
ACEI is an organization whose mission is to promote and support the development of children by promoting optimal education for children from birth to early adolescence. Also ACEI strives to influence professional growth of educators. Their vision is: Every child in every nation will have access to a quality education. This education will prepare children to become responsible and engaged citizens and ready them for life in a changing world. This vision is so important to me because some many times we are only concerned about the school we teach in or the community we live in. If you don’t see these people you are not concerned. This organization is addressing the issues of all schools globally and is striving to have all children on one accord. This prepares each child to be able to grow academically and socially. One of the main issues discussed on this website was peace and social development in relation to education. They discussed the importance of education around the world. In the article “Education is key to peace and social development” they stated that “1.5 billion people live in fragile and conflict-affected states” (Vojvoda, 2012, p.1). When most children are in schools in these communities it causes them to avoid the conflict around them in result creating peace.
