Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have been urged to pay closer attention to the formative years of children and work harder to increase access to quality Early Childhood Education.
Information out of Caricom’s Secretariat in Georgetown stated that this was one of the recommendations, which came out of the Twentieth Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) on Education, which ended in Georgetown, Guyana last Wednesday.
The COHSOD underscored the importance of achieving Universal Early Childhood Education (ECE) by 2015. They agreed that ECE was pivotal in laying the foundation for primary education and in helping the Region to meet the Millennium Development Goals 2 which targets universal primary education by 2015.
