Expanding access to high quality
early childhood education is among
the smartest investments that we
can make. Research has shown that
the early years in a childs life
when the human brain is forming
represent a critically important
window of opportunity to develop a
childs full potential and shape key
academic, social, and cognitive
skills that determine a childs
success in school and in life.
Barack Obama
* James Heckman studies on the impact of early childhood education
Globally currently only half of of 3-6-year olds (c. 150 million) in pre-primary education.
All regions of the world increasing pre-primary enrollment (World bank 2016).
