World Conference on Early Childhood Care and Education: Early investment for better learning and brighter future
Half of the young children in the world, at least 175 million, are not enrolled in pre-primary programmes. While there is evidence that a child’s early years are critical for shaping their ability to learn, develop, and reach their potential, accessing early learning opportunities remains one of the biggest challenges.
To bridge the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) gaps, UNESCO, in collaboration with Uzbekistan, is organizing a intergovernmental world conference to reaffirm the right of the child to quality ECCE from birth and urge Member States’ renewed commitment to and investment in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 4.2 which calls for ensuring that “all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education”.
