Early Childhood Education as a Foundation for Rural Development
“The first five years have so much to do with how the next 80 turn out.” - Bill Gates Early childhood education is more than just a preparatory stage for school and learning - it is the cornerstone of cognitive, social and emotional development. In rural areas, where access to structured education is often limited, early childhood education can play a critical role in breaking the cycle of poverty, improving literacy rates and fostering long-term community growth.
