Professor Kamerman Presents to UNESCO/Council of Europe
CUSSW's
Professor Sheila B. Kamerman presented a paper entitled "Welfare
States, Family Policies, Early Childhood Education, Care and
Family Support" at a UNESCO / Council of Europe Consultation
Meeting in Budapest, Hungary in September. The meeting, entitled
"Family Support Policy in Central and Eastern Europe" was
aimed at educating government officials from ministries of
education, health, and social welfare, from 22 of the CEE
and CIS countries about the gamut of policy options and, specifically,
those that would be most appropriate for these countries given
their structure, history and culture.
In addition to presenting her paper, which is being distributed
via the UNESCO web site, Dr. Kamerman chaired two sessions,
was key in facilitating discussion among the participants,
and aided in preparing the summary recommendations.
