The case for investing in early childhood development (ECD) is compelling. While research finds that ECD plays a critical role in equipping children with the knowledge and skills to fulfill their economic, social and life pursuits, policymakers do not always see ECD as a priority. In a series of blog posts, experts from Brookings and elsewhere discuss the important benefits of scaling up, sustaining quality, and financing early childhood development throughout the developing world. You can read the posts below: |
