Access to daycare centers and preschools with equity and quality was the theme of the National Seminar “Implementation of the Quality and Equity Parameters for Early Childhood Education,” promoted by the Ministry of Education (MEC) on November 27.
Beatriz Cardoso represented Labedu at the event that announced the National Council of Education (CNE) resolution establishing the Operational Guidelines for the implementation of the new National Quality Parameters for Early Childhood Education. These parameters were revised this year by the MEC following a democratic and participatory process, which included an open consultation in which Labedu collaborated through a critical reading of the document during the month of April.
The Quality Parameters should serve as a constant source of consultation and guidance for municipal management, education department officials and their technical teams, directors and teaching staff of daycare centers and preschools, members of education councils, and also for families. Following the CNE regulation, they are mandatory and focus on building a social and federative pact involving the Federal Government, states, municipalities, administrators, and the school community.
According to the document, “the guarantee of children’s rights is part of the Brazilian legal framework. The Federal Constitution already establishes shared responsibilities between the State, society, and families, so that infants and children are treated with ‘absolute priority.’ It is therefore up to each institution and every citizen to actively contribute to upholding these rights.”
