Summary: | This report presents an analysis of
the early childhood development (ECD) programs and policies
which affect young children in Mauritius. It is part of a
series of reports prepared by the World Bank using the
systems approach for better education results (SABER)-ECD
framework and includes analysis of early learning, health,
nutrition, and social and child protection policies and
interventions in Mauritius, along with some regional and
international comparisons. The Government of Mauritius (GoM)
runs free public preschools, and gives cash transfers to
private schools for every child enrolled. The GoM offers
free public healthcare, including essential health and
nutrition services for pregnant women and young children.
While the GoM has implemented important ECD policies and
programs, some aspects of the legal framework and systems to
monitor and assure quality can be improved. |
