The note explores the need to identify
both cost effective, and adaptable interventions in the
promotion of early childhood care and education (ECCE)
programs, to benefit communities, and countries at large. To
this end, based on a Bank sector study that examines such
programs in Cape Verde, as a relatively wealthy African
country, and in comparison Guinea, as a relatively poor
country, it is emphasized that the feasibility of different
approaches may be country specific. The study questions the
overall status, and profile of early childhood development
programs, and the factors determining child enrollment in
pre-school programs, as well as the extent of influence of
pre-school attendance in child development. It also reviews
the program characteristics, seemingly effective in terms of
child development, including the policy implications of
these programs in terms of costs, financing, and
implementation. Findings, and recommendations suggest that
pre-school education can be a double-edged sword, that can
both alleviate, and exacerbate disparities, while wide
variations in pre-school effectiveness indicate the many
factors influencing its success. But government plays a
critical role in supporting ECCD programs, that is, it can
improve efficiency, and equity. Highlights feature
longer-term impact of pre-school for primary school
performance, and how to best expand access to pre-school,
without raising public expenditures. |
