Free Primary Education in Kenya

The four SES groups were analyzed to determine the impact early childhood centers has on education. The results were that the two lowest SES groups benefitted the most from early childhood education. The author states that (2015) “in order to test if children belonging to the bottom 40% in income distribution benefitted from ECCE, we conduct analyses with the first and second SES group together and did find a positive ECCE effect on academic achievement in all three tests.”

The paper will begin with a Review of the Research. This section will summarize all the information gathered for this paper. Here the background will be given and the foundation laid for the rest of the report. Next will be the Application of the Research. This is

That adds to about $35,000 each year to fund an average-sized and average-quality year-round program. The Massachusetts study estimates a possible cost difference of 13 percent when increasing center quality (Marshall et al., 2004). This brings us to almost $40,000 per year. To scale up the number of children served, more teachers would need to be hired to keep class sizes small and quality maintained. If we want services to be equally available to the 2,800 children under the age of five in North Lawndale from low-income families, we should prepare to cover the costs of as many of these children as possible. The Massachusetts study noted a total enrollment over 40 to be large enough to impact quality if not enough teachers are hired; there are 70 times as many children in North Lawndale as this 40-children standard center size, which brings our $40,000 estimate to $2.8 million. This still leaves plenty of room for adjustment within our $5 million per year budget to increase the building’s capacity or purchase additional buildings, along with funding an outreach campaign to inform the North Lawndale community of the free services offered through our partnership with GELA. However, even these building expansion costs may be mitigated by reaching out to local elementary, middle, and high schools to outsource free classrooms for our ECE program. When public schools have vacant classrooms, they can be donated to our program for use. This public

In order to investigate the characteristics of pre school the EPPE team collected a wide range of information on more than 3000 children from 141pre school centres. They

The classroom sites that were studies were state preschools, Head Start, Title 1, Tuition-based programs, full-day programs, and half-day programs. Eighty-one percent of the children were 4-year old, 19% were 5-year-olds. “The gender was balanced, and included 36% African American, 31% White, 20% Hispanic/Latino, 10% multi-race, and 3% Asian. Approximately 23% of the children were ELLs. The mean percentage of children eligible for early childhood special education (with IEPs) was 11%. This also varied across program types with 15% of children in Head Start programs having IEPs and 3% of children in Tuition-Based programs. Regarding parent/caregiver educational attainment in the overall sample, 22% of parents reported having less than high school, 23% had high school diplomas or general education development (GED),

The objectives and scopes of the research are also defined. This chapter also describes the methodology to carry out and accomplish the objectives.

To achieve this objetive, this paper is structured into 4 parts. The first being a brief insight on the topic.

There are various education reforms in the United States today, however there was one reform that was looked at closely by the author of Reforming Preschool to Ready Children for Academic Achievement: A Case Study of the Impact of Pre-K Reform on the Issue of School Readiness, Christopher Brown. This article focuses on in depth research that has been done for a reform on preschools in Texas which aims to reduce the gap in education. During this research, Brown was able to look closely at the effects of the reform and how it either benefited or had no difference on the school’s growth. In order to do this he tried out the TEEM approach in these various schools in Texas. Through this process he also tried to figure out what could

Early years in a child’s life ( when the brain is forming) represents a critically important window to develop a child’s full potential and shape academic, social, and cognitive skills. The Universal Prekindergarten Initiative urges each state to provide access to state funded preschool programs for four year olds. These programs would vary due to teacher qualifications, number of students, staff-child ratio, and operating schedule. Economic analysis ( Bowman) indicates that a better educational investment is in preschool education is in preschool education. To have a successful program states would need to support the prek. President Obama has called upon Congress to expand access to high quality preschool

The Head Start program contributes to early successful learning and contributes to overcoming youth’s educational setbacks. It prepares children from low-income families for elementary school and beyond. The children enrolled in this program are giving a better opportunity to succeed in school. In order to prepare a child for success in school, the program has to meet educational, health, social needs for every pupil. In addition, the program includes special services for those who qualify. In this specific study, researchers try and find out if former Head Start students that received special education in preschool transferred to kindergarten with the same services.

Early childhood is a crucial stage of life in terms of children's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development and of their well-being. The growth in children is both rapid and differential. A large proportion of

The United States has placed enormous emphasis on the education of its youth in the past several decades. With each changing presidential administration, a new and seemingly improved reform has been brought to the forefront of education. Increased pressure on both students and teachers has been the trend in the past several decades. Particularly, students considered at-risk have been singled out in the past years and targeted with specific educational reform models in an effort to close ever widening achievement gaps in reading and math. One such program stemming from the education reform model under No Child Left Behind, and one which is specific to the state of Georgia is the Early Intervention Program. The EIP was intended to

Early childhood education lays the foundation for future success. Therefore, primary education is a basic right that every child should be entitled to. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, one in five children received a primary education in the past and the proportions have considerably increased now to 59%. But even with this considerable increase to children who receive a primary education, literacy rates haven’t improved due to the inadequate quality of education. Therefore, lack of an adequate primary education is a problem in sub-Saharan Africa because it causes low literacy rates that harm the overall welfare of those countries and it could be best solved with a better internal education system and some external monetary aid.
