This document summarizes key statistics about pre-primary education globally and by region from 1999-2010. It finds that pre-primary enrollment increased from 112 million to 164 million children over this period. South Asia and East Asia & Pacific accounted for most enrollments. Gross enrollment rates increased in all regions but remained lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East & North Africa. Countries with lower national incomes generally had lower pre-primary enrollment rates. Gender parity in enrollment was achieved globally by 2010.

The global financial crisis has contributed significantly to the decline in employment ratio in some regions and has had a significant impact on women. Globally, whereas before the crisis (2000-2007) female employment ratio declined only modestly by 0.1 percentage points (compared to a 0.8 decline for men), between 2007 and 2012, they declined by 1.3 percent-age points compared to 0.9 percentage points decline for men.

The widest gender gaps can be found in Northern Africa and sub-Saharan Africa with 20.6 and 15.6 percentage points, respectively. Due to pervasive occupational segregation, women are overrepresented in low paid jobs, have less access to social protection, and are paid on average less than men for work of equal value. Women’s employment opportunities are further limited by the disproportionate amounts of unpaid care work that they perform.

Demographic Dividend in Africa: Does it Apply to Malawi?IFPRIMaSSP
Special Seminar by Prof. David Canning: Demographic dividend in Africa: Does it apply to Malawi?
On Friday 5 August 2016, IFPRI-Malawi held a special seminar by Professor David Canning (Professor of Population Science and Professor of Economics & Public Health at Harvard University’s Chan School of Public Health) entitled “Demographic dividend in Africa: Does it apply to Malawi?”. Professor Canning presented on the components of population growth, the Asian economic miracle, the new view on importance of population, health and wealth of nations, the demographic dividend and Africa’s demographic transition.
24%: that is the proportion of women holding the most senior roles in businesses across the globe. We have been tracking this figure over the past decade and are sorry to report there has been no significant movement. In fact, this figure is exactly the same as 2007, 2009 and 2013, suggesting that women’s ascent up the corporate ladder has returned to its ‘natural level’ following the financial crisis, during which women were disproportionately hit.

South Asia’s regional GDP growth slipped to 4.8 percent in 2012, following a robust recovery in the years after the 2008 global financial crisis. A weakening global economy, coupled with domestic difficulties (including policy uncertainties, structural capacity constraints, and a poor harvest) contributed to weaker regional growth in 2012.
Latin America & Caribbean Regional Outlook June 2013WB_Research
http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook
After a sharp recovery from the global economic crisis in 2010, when regional output expanded by 6 percent, growth in the Latin America and the Caribbean decelerated markedly, to an estimated 3 percent by 2012. Supply side constraints have become apparent in some of the larger economies, where output was near or above potential during the recovery phase, and which contributed to relatively high inflation and deterioration of current account balances. Despite a sharp deceleration in growth, regional output is only now in line with potential GDP.

More than two years after the Arab Spring began, economic activity remains weighed down by elevated political tensions and continued civil strife in the region. Regional growth accelerated to 3.5 percent in 2012 from minus 2.2 percent in 2011 reflecting mainly a rebound in Libya’s crude oil production to pre-war levels that doubled real GDP and a weak growth recovery in Egypt (to 2.2 percent in FY2012 from 1.8 percent in FY2011).

Priorities for Equity and Inclusion? Quality in Early Childhood Care and Educ...Young Lives Oxford
Keynote speech by Renu Singh at the British Association of Comparative and International Education conference, 10 Sept 2014.
The importance of early development in shaping children's education outcomes is widely acknowledged. The Dakar Framework for Action reinforced the call for 'expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children'. Building an enabling policy environment which focuses on equity and equality in allocations and interventions is essential if the rights of every young child are to be promoted.
Education Series Volume IV: Early Childhood Development in South Africa, 2016Statistics South Africa
“If we are to break the cycle of poverty, we need to educate the children of the poor.” – President Cyril Ramaphosa, SoNA 2018
The first one thousand days in a child’s life could hold the key to unlocking his/her life-long potential. By the age of 5, almost 90% of a child’s brain will be developed. These are the formative years where factors such as adequate healthcare, good nutrition, good quality childcare and nurturing, a clean and safe environment, early learning and stimulation will, to a large extent, influence his/her future as an adult.

IIEP-UNESCO Strategic Debate: the impact of inequalities on learning achievementIIEP-UNESCO
Towards progressive universalism: the impact of inequalities on learning achievement.
IIEP Strategic Debate - May 2017
Speaker: Pauline Rose, Director, Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre, University of Cambridge
Moderator: Suzanne Grant Lewis (Director IIEP)
Drawing on analysis of available large-scale datasets, this session will show how inequalities in learning between the rich and poor and, amongst the poor by gender, widen substantially over the primary school cycle. It will also identify that children with disabilities are most likely to be left behind. The evidence further demonstrates that access to higher education for children from poor households is strongly dependent on their learning in the early years. Analysis will be presented showing that, where children from poor backgrounds have the same opportunities as those from rich backgrounds, learning gaps narrow significantly. It will further identify the importance of changing the way in which public resources are allocated, to achieve ‘progressive universalism’. The Debate will conclude by identifying ways in which data collection could be improved in resource-poor environments to enable better monitoring of education SDGs related to learning, with a focus on tracking progress for the most disadvantaged groups.

Proximate Determinants of Fertility in Eastern Africa: The case of Kenya, Rw...Scientific Review SR
This study presents some determinants of fertility for three countries in east Africa. It examines the
role of the proximate determinants of fertility to total births during last five years before the surveys in Kenya,
Rwanda and Tanzania. The study is based on the analysis of secondary data obtained from Demographic and
Health Surveys in the three countries. The surveys were conducted between 2014 and 2016. The response
variable used in this study is the number of births in the last five years before the survey. The study employed
Quasi-Poisson regression model as the main method of data analysis. The results show that place of residence,
working status, number of union, age at first birth, age at first cohabitation, age at first sex, contraceptive use
and intention, unmet need and educational level mothers are significant determinants of fertility. Moreover, the
findings of this study indicate that educational level of mothers has negative impact on fertility. For current
contraceptive users, the mean birth for the last five years is highest for Kenya followed by Tanzania. For those
who never use contraception, the mean births for the last five years for Rwanda is lower as compared to
Tanzania and Kenya. The mean births for working mothers is also lower than that of non-working mothers for
all three countries. The study suggests that improving the educational level of mothers, increasing the use of
contraception, and involving more women to work force can reduce fertility in the three countries.
The 2014/2015 Results for Learning Report: Basic Education at Risk examines the progress achieved by GPE partner developing countries over the period 2008-2012. Universal primary education has never been so close, yet there are still 58 million children of primary school age who do not go to school around the world, and 41 million of them are in partner developing countries. The report cautions that if progress and investments are not maintained, the hard-won achievements could be reversed.

Europe and Central Asia Regional OutlookWB_Research
http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook
The Europe and Central Asia region suffered a significant economic slowdown in 2012 as the region faced significant headwinds, including weak external demand, deleveraging by European banks, poor harvest and inflationary pressures. As a result, growth fell to 2.7 percent in 2012, compared with 5.6 percent in 2011 with a sharp slowdown in developing Europe and less severe adjustments among Commonwealth of Independent States.
http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook
Growth in the East Asia & the Pacific region slowed to 7.5 percent in 2012, which nevertheless represented 40 percent of global growth. The slowdown was due to slower growth in China, which has started to shift away its economy from excessive reliance on investment and net exports.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

9. Are lower pre-primary enrollment rates
related to lower national income per
capita?
All the low income
countries ($1025 or less)
have less than 16% of
children enrolled in pre-
primary education except
Gambia (27%), Kenya
(29%), and Tanzania
(33%).
24 countries had NERs
less than 15%. Only 4 of
those had GNI per capita
higher than $1100. All
the countries were lower
than $4780 (Bosnia).
All of the countries with
NERs higher than 90%
had GNI greater than
$12,000 except Thailand,
Grenada, and Maldives.
All low income countries had less than one-third of
children enrolled in pre-primary education.

10. Do gender disparities exist in pre-
primary enrollment rates?
Gender parity indices
(GPIs) are calculated by
dividing the female value
for an indicator by the
male value, so perfect
gender parity equals 1.
A value below 1 indicates
a bias toward males. A
value above 1 indicates a
bias toward females.
Globally, the GPI has
been increasing from .98
in 2000 to perfect gender
parity (1.0) in 2010.
Most regions are very
close to gender parity (+/-
0.02) in 2010. Only MNA
lags behind.
4 of 6 regions have a
slight female bias.
Gender parity in pre-primary enrolments (1.0) has
been achieved globally and in most regions.

14. Which regions have higher pre-
primary pupil-teacher ratios?
Globally, pre-primary
pupil-teacher ratios
(PTRs) have remained
steady since 1999 at
around 20 pupils per
teacher.
ECA has the fewest
students per teacher:
PTRs ranged from 8 to
10 students over time.
South Asia had the
highest PTRs as of
2007 at 40 students per
teacher. The next
closest region was SSA
at around 27 students
per teacher in 2011.
South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have higher
pre-primary pupil-teacher ratios.

15. Which countries have the highest
pre-primary pupil-teacher ratios?
These countries
have between 35
and 57 pre-primary
students per
teacher.
Eight of the 10
countries are in
SSA.
Less than 11% of
children are enrolled
in pre-primary
education in 5 of
these countries.
There are 22
countries with pre-
primary PTRs less
than 10. Most are in
ECA or are high
income countries.
