While reading Financial Solutions for Sending and Keeping Children in School, I realized that it is relevant to my current professional development because it represents a sustained vision for the early childhood field and more specifically for the programs that prepare children for future success. The Article speaks about strategies to bring targeted financial services into the field of education. Opportunity international's goal is to impact the education of 2 million children in marginalized countries. The organization offers school improvement loans which made me think, if the organization is offering school loans to low-quality schools in order to improve the quality of education, how the school will pay back the money. The insight I gained is that the Early Childhood Education is a major issue in other countries and it sounds as though organizations are going to making major investments in Early Childhood Education. When understanding how economists, neurosciences, or politicians support the early childhood field the information I gather was that this organization does realize that it takes resources to fund such a huge project and use several unique strategies to fund and preserve funding.   New insights about issues and trends in the early childhood field I gained from exploring the website or e-newsletter, is that poverty and low quality education go hand in hand if we can invest in developing better quality schools, give our children an opportunity to rise against poverty.
