Building Effective Early Learning Systems

The goals of this course are to explore a systems-based approach to coordinated policy, programming, and action in early learning, to examine how different actors can collaborate to turn early learning goals into reality, and to identify common challenges faced by early childhood education (ECE) systems. The topics covered include coordinated approaches to early learning policy, planning, and design; strategies for expanding access and improving quality in ECE; methods for setting realistic objectives, targets, and timelines to achieve early learning goals; and lessons learned from cross-sector coordination in real-world country cases.
