ECD Voice Issue 17

Welcome to the 17th Issue of ECD Voice!
As we conclude 2025, we take a moment to celebrate significant milestones in Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Education. This year, our advocacy at ZINECDA has led to notable achievements, including the government’s consideration of the STELA assessment tool and the establishment of the National Early Childhood Development Subcommittee.
We are pleased to report that the 2026 National Education Budget allocated substantial resources to ECD, reflecting our successful advocacy efforts.
In this issue, you’ll find insights into our recent activities, including budget analysis, participation in media awards, and highlights from our educational initiatives.
We wish you a joyous holiday season and look forward to reconnecting in 2026!
