| description |
In 2001,the Egyptian government
announced its intention to build on progress toward improved
child health, and education by increasing enrollment rates
in kindergarten (KG) programs, and improving early childhood
education. The repot examines the status of KG enrollment,
stipulating fifty percent is in private schools, and, most
programs in the private sector are developed, and managed by
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and religious schools.
Notwithstanding, poor children still face many barriers to
KG enrollment: there is a strong correlation between gross
domestic product (GDP) per capita, and gross enrollment in
KG in Egypt - the poorest governorates in Upper, and Lower
Egypt have the lowest KG enrollment rates, and, there are
disparities between KG enrollment rates for girls, and boys.
Key priorities for KG expansion suggest the adoption of
comprehensive approaches to pre-service, and in-service
training; development of an official KG curriculum;
integrated health and nutrition services to improve ability
to learn; and, adoption of a participatory approach to
quality improvement. Strategies to expand KG should focus on
strengthening coordination, and management of early
childhood education (ECE), to improve access to public KG,
but most importantly, provide support for teacher training
through supervision, and mentoring programs. Restrictions to
private sector participation in public KG expansion should
be revised within a regulatory framework, while incentives
should be created for improved access to disadvantaged children. |
