Assessing
Early Childhood Education
Bangladesh
September 2003 – January 2004
 USAID/Bangladesh
appealed to BEPSS to conduct three studies that would provide
guidance to the development of a strategy for donor assistance
in the education sector. Along with an assessment on the use
of time in schools and madrasah education, USAID/Bangladesh
solicited an assessment on early childhood education.
This study
assessed the state of early childhood education in the country,
with an eye to strengthening the
overall USAID
understating of early childhood development, education and
advocacy. The study analyzed what is needed and what is available
to prepare vulnerable and disadvantaged children physically,
mentally, and socially to learn at school. The final analysis
details childhood indicators, a day in the life of an early
child, an analysis of the policy framework, and available resources
and learning materials, and the emerging trends in early childhood
education.
Taken along with the other two studies, the assessment
provides information and analysis needed by USAID to identify
effective
strategies, activities and entry points for education assistance
in Bangladesh.
