Modelling of Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Primary Education in Northern Samar

Objectives: The initiative focuses on improving early childhood education (ECE) and primary education in Northern Samar, Philippines. This involves increasing preschool enrollment, supporting cognitive development for children aged 3-8, and enhancing learning outcomes. UNICEF aims to create "Ready Child, Ready Family, Ready School, and Ready Community" dimensions to support children's transitions from home to school. The program addresses the low ECE enrollment and educational challenges faced by children with developmental delays and disabilities. By engaging local government units, schools, and caregivers, UNICEF seeks to provide holistic developmental services, build parental awareness, enhance school capacities, and implement monitoring systems to track and support vulnerable children.
