Can a focus on playful learning be integrated in the
enabling environment?
“Enabling environment” refers to the broad set of interrelated national political, social and financial conditions that can either promote or hinder the successful functioning of the preprimary sub-sector. A supportive enabling environment is conducive to recognizing the importance of learning through play, and it can further strengthen this emphasis by fostering coordination with other sectors such as health, nutrition and social protection, which together can create a unified voice for play in children’s lives. The elements of the enabling environment, and how they can foster play-based learning, are:
1. Policies and legislation: Policies specific to the preprimary sub-sector are important because they can clearly affirm children’s right to play and can state that playbased learning is a distinctive and essential feature of effective early learning. Policies and directives can reflect a childcentred approach to learning and teaching; such policies create an expectation that playful learning will be taken seriously and implemented across levels of the sub-sector.
2. Public Demand: Support for pre-primary services among
parents and caregivers is key and it should be informed by strong
awareness of what quality means in pre-primary education.
Awareness-raising should focus on young children’s unique
learning needs, e.g., the need to make meaning through playful
investigations supported by knowledgeable teachers. A key
aspect of fostering public support and demand for learning
through play is to ensure that parents recognize their role in
providing meaningful play experiences in the home environment,
and to empower them to do so. Garnering public support and
demand for learning through play will enhance the pre-primary
system’s commitment to and recognition of the benefits of play.

Linguisitc prejudice is endemic in public life, widely tolerated, and institutionalized in social enterprises that affect almost everyone, such as education and the media. There is limited knowledge about and little regard forlinguistic study showing that all varieties of a language display systematicity and that the elevated social position of standard varieties has no scientific linguistic basis.

The coloniality framework, which is present in several levels of personal and social life, is still reproduced even in the absence of colonial management, echoing in classrooms, in a very steady way in English classes.

High-income countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have higher food spending in absolute terms, but the share of household consumption expenditures devoted to athome food is low– less than 10 percent. In Kenya and other low- -income countries, at-home food’s share of consumption expenditures can exceed 50 percent. Per capita calorie availability follows the reverse path. According to the most recent available data, U.S. per capita calorie availability was among the highest at 3,682 calories per day, while Kenya’s was estimated at only 2,206 calories.

For a typical dollar spent in 2020 by U.S. consumers on domestically produced food, including both grocery store and eating-out purchases, 27.9 cents went to foodservice establishments such as restaurants and other eating-out places. The foodservice share of the food dollar decreased after 9 years of gains as households shifted to food-at-home consumption during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the remainder of the food dollar, transportation (4.1 cents) and wholesale trade (11.9 cents) rose to their highest shares reported in the series, which provides statistics back to 1993.

Delta variant and low vaccine access
creates a third wave in Africa
Covid-19 cases are surging across the African continent, with more than twenty countries now in the grip of a third wave. Experts predict this wave will surpass case numbers seen in previous peaks. The speed and scale of Africa’s third wave is like nothing seen before, says Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization regional director for Africa. The Delta variant is a big part of this potentially catastrophic surge, with over a dozen countries having detected cases. In Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Delta variant is now the most common in circulation. Stopping the spread and mutation of Covid-19 relies on populations being vaccinated. But access to vaccines in Africa is far too low. According to the latest WHO figures, only 1% of the African population has been fully vaccinated, compared to 50% of the population in high income countries like the UK and USA. Covid-19 vaccines, the world’s best hope to end the pandemic, are not being distributed fairly.
