Abstract:
This working paper considers ways to tackle early drop-out and under-achievement at school. It examines transitions from both home and early childhood programmes, examining how the latter can be designed to address poverty and exclusion. It also looks at why the 6-8 year age group of 0-8s is typically ignored by professionals and policy-makers, and what is needed to sustain good practices and learning during the vital early years of formal schooling.
Note:
This paper is based on a background paper prepared by the authors for UNESCO’s Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2007. Strong foundations: early childhood care and education. ISBN 978-92-3-104041-2.
