Early Childhood Care and Development policy review in the Philippines
Issue Date
2009
Abstract
This policy review is in light with the ECCD Act, a national law on early childhood care and development that defines ECCD as the full range of health, nutrition, early education and social services that provide for the holistic needs of 0-6 year old children. It will take on a broader perspective and will go beyond the goal of ECCD and address the issue of expanding and improving access to early childhood care and development. In general, the review process aimed to support and assist the Philippine Government in meeting the goals of the ECCD Program by identifying, documenting, and sharing good practices as well as constraints in the policy development and implementation of early childhood care and development, which are aligned with other national sectoral plans as well as with the international commitments to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), World Fit for Children (WFC), and Education for All.
