UNICEF, in partnership with Centre for Early Childhood Education and Development (CECED), Ambedkar University Delhi and ASER Centre today launched a report on the Indian Early Childhood Education Impact study, a five-year longitudinal research study that followed a cohort of 14,000 four year olds from age 4 to age 8 in rural areas of three states of India: Assam, Rajasthan and Telangana.



Findings from the report reveal that a majority of 4-year-olds are attending preschool, either through government-run Anganwadi Centers or private preschools. However, they do not necessarily participate in preschool and primary school at the ages and in the order that policies prescribe, and therefore there are children below the age of 6 in primary school and children above age 6 in preschool in some states.

The report highlights that even one year of participation in a quality early childhood development programme leads to higher school readiness levels, which in turn lead to better learning outcomes in the early primary grades.



However, a key concern emerging is that most children in the study entered primary school at age 5 with school readiness levels which were far below expectations. They were thus unequipped to meet the demands of the curriculum and had low learning levels. The study concludes that these low school readiness levels in children are clearly related to the quality of preschool education. The large-scale service providers do not use age and developmentally appropriate curriculum, methods and materials to engage children. It identifies formal teaching of the 3 R’s – reading, writing, and arithmetic, as detrimental to children’s development.
