UNESCO puts preschool funding on the World Children’s Day agenda
A joint report will examine how governments can extend early education to more children.
UNESCO will present a global report on financing early childhood care and education in Paris on November 20. The report, produced with UNICEF and the OECD, will examine how governments raise and distribute money for services that reach children before they enter primary school.
The launch announcement says progress on access has stalled and the financing gap has widened. The report will bring together enrollment data by region and recommendations on how to direct resources to children who have been left out.
The release comes four years before the 2030 target for universal access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education.
