The quality of education in a country is indicative of its overall development prospects. Over the past two decades building on the momentum generated by educational development goals have been significant as far as increases in the number of children enrolled in school. Now, with discussions heating up around what the next set of development goals will look like in 2015, it is critical that learning across the education spectrum from early childhood through adolescence and beyond is included as a global priority. Starting early helps children enter primary school prepared to learn. High quality early childhood development opportunities can have long-term impacts on a child’s later success in school.
