Abstract:
This is the fourth in a series of snapshot reports presenting results from a large-scale early childhood education (ECE) study conducted in the northern provinces of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR). The ECE study was initiated to evaluate the Early Childhood Education Project. The results presented here represent data collected on the availability of, and community access to, services and facilities, and how these relate to early child development, prior to the implementation of the project. Data will be collected again after the project has finished to see if the project has improved outcomes for children. This snapshot highlights that while the coverage of and access to early education services are not sufficient, where they are available these services are related to better levels of early child development.
