“Development is the most fundamental right of children”

Prof. Dr. Nurper Ulkuer, who noted that programs supporting early childhood development will reduce the effects of poverty on children and family, continued; “Since the beginning of the 21st century, scientific research, published and has clearly stated that early childhood studies have the basis of human development. We have set the name of our first session as “From Science to Politics”. We are aware of the fact that the cost for governments is the investment made to early childhood development, which is the highest recycling. It is emphasized that early childhood development is an equalizer in eliminating inequalities in health among the social indicators of the health organization prepared. Early childhood development has entered the plans of the World Health Organization. The importance of all things is the most fundamental right of children. However, we know that there are problems in access to quality early childhood development in many countries of the world and Turkey today. The group that should benefit from the services offered first are those who care for disadvantaged young children. However, this group does not benefit from the service to the extent that it needs it.
