Tennis star puts children first in his court
Four Grand Slam singles titles, a #1 world ranking and the first Serbian player to win a Major singles title, Novak Djokovic has achieved much so far in his professional tennis career. Now Djokovic can add early childhood education advocate to his accomplishments as he joins UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) as an ambassador.
With a low overall enrollment rate, Djokovic’s native country Serbia has struggled to expand early childhood education nationwide. UNICEF and Dojokovic are working with the Serbian government to “expand existing services and to develop specialized programmes to encourage early childhood education among marginalized groups” over a five year period.
The importance of early childhood education even reaches into the world of sports.
