Childhood in Türkiye: Educational, Sociological, and Psychological Perspectives (by Hilal H. Sen and Helaine Selin, Eds.)

Abstract

International organizations and governments over the last three decades have raised global awareness and attention to improving the quality of early childhood care, learning, and well-being. Similarly, significant social, technological, and political change has prompted a global discourse in educational policy. The contextual nuances and intersection of early childhood care and education, unique to a rich heritage and cosmopolitan culture as found in Türkiye (officially recognized by the United Nations as the Republic of Türkiye, as of 2021), may bring hope for a resilient nation to successfully face institutional and geo-political challenges.
