| description |
The Pacific early age readiness and
learning (PEARL) program aims to support Pacific Island
countries and their development partners in building
capacity to design, implement, and monitor evidence-based
integrated policies and programs that prepare children and
their families for primary school. PEARL’s two focus areas
are reflected in its two visions: (1) that all children in
the Pacific have access to and benefit from programs in
their communities that promote healthy, stimulating, and
culturally relevant experiences that prepare them for
pre-primary, primary schooling, and life; and (2) all
classrooms in the early grades of primary education are
equipped with the knowledge and the resources to ensure
children become literate in a language they are familiar
with, and that they are able to use these skills and
knowledge to engage in lifelong learning. This report
provides a comprehensive picture of the current status of
children’s early development in Samoa, the environments in
which children in Samoa are growing up, and how these
environments are having an impact on children’s early
developmental outcomes. Results produced some expected
findings reflecting international evidence, as well as some
surprising ones, providing the country with a valuable
evidence base on which policy makers and service providers
can base their planning around, and policy monitoring and
program evaluation can be measured against. |
