The effects of Climate Change on the Teaching and learning of Early Childhood in Zimbabwe

Author(s) Dr. Agnes Pakombwele
Country Botswana
Abstract Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant global challenges affecting education systems, particularly in developing countries such as Zimbabwe. Early Childhood Education (ECE), which provides the foundation for lifelong learning and development, is increasingly vulnerable to climate-related hazards, including prolonged droughts, floods, cyclones, heatwaves, and food insecurity. These environmental changes disrupt school attendance, compromise children's health and nutrition, damage educational infrastructure, and negatively influence teaching and learning processes. This chapter examines how climate change affects early childhood education in Zimbabwe by exploring its impact on children's learning experiences, teachers' instructional practices, school environments, and community participation. Drawing upon existing literature, policy documents, and examples from Zimbabwe, the chapter analyses the challenges faced by early childhood educators and learners while highlighting adaptation and resilience strategies that can strengthen climate-responsive education. The chapter concludes by recommending policy reforms, teacher capacity building, climate-resilient infrastructure, and the integration of climate change education into early childhood curricula to ensure sustainable and equitable learning opportunities for young children.
