| description |
The report focuses on preschool, as an
effective early childhood development (ECD) intervention,
especially for improving the status of the poorest groups in
Brazil's population. Because of data limitations, the
focus is primarily on pre-schooling, with some discussions
on day care, and other services for the younger age group
(0-3 years). Although the country is now out of the economic
recession of the late 1990s, and, has laid the basis for an
economic growth free of inflation, nonetheless, substantial
development imbalances still need to be addressed. This will
require sustained economic growth, and a range of policy
interventions that affect the broad structure of the
economy, therefore, this study looks at the impact of ECD,
particularly preschool, in redressing these distortions. The
main structural dimensions of access to pre-schooling are
higher enrollments among older children, showing that
enrollments - eight percent in the 0-3 age group - were seen
to be particularly low in comparison with industrialized
nations, though similar to other Latin American countries;
that enrollments are lower in the mid-west, south, and north
of the country in comparison to the northeast, and
southeast, with the largest rural-urban disparities in the
mid-west, and southeast; and, that the richest ten percent
of the population account for fifty six percent of access to
preschool, while only twenty four percent of the poorest
forty percent, attend these services. Findings suggest a
strengthened preschool financing, improved access to the
poorest, and combined preschool services with other ECD services. |
