Improving Measurement Efficiency of an Early Education Quality Monitoring Tool for Majority World Countries
Research Findings: New measures are being developed for quality monitoring of early care and education (ECE) programs in Majority World countries. However, limited psychometric work has identified items most indicative of quality or optimized the content of these tools. Therefore, the goal of this study was to showcase the empirical steps needed to streamline ECE quality monitoring measures and create more efficient, yet psychometrically robust, …
Quality and inequality in pre-primary and home environment inputs to early childhood development in Egypt
Psychometrics of psychosocial behavior items under age 6 years
Because healthy psychosocial development in the first years of life is critical to lifelong well‐being, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations are increasingly interested in monitoring psychosocial behaviors among populations of children. In response, the World Health Organization is developing the Global Scales of Early Development Psychosocial Form (GSED PF) to facilitate population‐level psychosocial monitoring. Once validated, the GS…
Measurement for Change
In this review paper, we explore how on-the-ground Early Childhood Development (ECD) innovators are using monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems to guide the design and implementation of ECD programs, as well as how MEL systems can influence policy and support the achievement of impact at scale. We reflect on articles in the Frontiers series “ Effective delivery of integrated interventions in early childhood: innovations in evidence u…
The creation of the Global Scales for Early Development (GSED) for children aged 0–3 years
INTRODUCTION: With the ratification of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is an increased emphasis on early childhood development (ECD) and well-being. The WHO led Global Scales for Early Development (GSED) project aims to provide population and programmatic level measures of ECD for 0-3 years that are valid, reliable and have psychometrically stable performance across geographical, cultural and language contexts. This paper reports on the …
Early Childhood Education in Brazil
One of the world's largest countries, Brazil's national policies on early childhood are some of the most progressive and comprehensive in the world. Notable themes in Brazil's early childhood system include the national protection of children's rights, the integration of children's development, starting at birth, into the national education system, and universal preschool education. These rights are juxtaposed against a highly devolved political …
Understanding perceptions of quality among early childhood education stakeholders in Tanzania and Lesotho
Recent global efforts around early childhood education (ECE) have led to increased investments and access, especially in low- and middle-income countries (UNESCO, 2019). As access grows, focus has shifted from enrollment to quality (Gove, 2017). This paper explores how ECE stakeholders in Tanzania and Lesotho define ECE quality. Findings show that stakeholders define quality in similar ways, highlighting the importance of trained teachers who imp…
Mini-Review on Capacity-Building for Data-Driven Early Childhood Systems
Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are increasing investments in early childhood development programs, including early childhood education. As programs reach scale, there is increasing demand for evidence on impacts of investments. Little work to date has examined capacity required to effectively use data at scale in LMIC, including opportunities and barriers to integrating data into ongoing program implementation and tracking child developm…
Global estimates of the implications of Covid-19-related preprimary school closures for children’s instructional access, development, learning, and economic wellbeing
Observational data collected prior to the pandemic (between 2004 and 2019) were used to simulate the potential consequences of early childhood care and education (ECCE) service closures on the estimated 167 million preprimary-age children in 196 countries who lost ECCE access between March 2020 and February 2021. COVID-19-related ECCE disruptions were estimated to result in 19.01 billion person-days of ECCE instruction lost, 10.75 million additio…

Children, Youth and Developmental Science in the 2015‐2030 Global Sustainable Development Goals
In September 2016, the member states of the United Nations completed the process of adopting and defi ning indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs; United Nations, 2015).Developed through a three-year, worldwide participatory process, these 17 goals and 169 targets represent a global consensus on the part of U.N. member nations towards an inclusive, sustainable world, centered around ensuring equity in all countries at a time of gr…
Impacts of a child care quality rating and improvement system on child care quality
Violence against women
Gender and the Production of Health Care Services
Female health workers often make up to 75 per cent or more of the health sector workforce in developing countries, and yet they remain underpaid and relatively powerless. This article looks at the role of women in the production of health care services at different levels within the health sector, discussing primary health care and the effect of the economic crises. The article discusses how professions, which insulate the power and status of doc…
