Early Childhood Education (ECDE) is in peril across many counties. It has emerged that ECDE is poorly managed or handled, presenting parents with a huge dilemma. Early Childhood Education is essentially concerned with pre-schoolers who enroll in learning institutions before they join Class One.
However, because the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission are not deeply involved in how ECDE is managed and advise from the periphery, the standardisation of learning processes is lacking.
And yet this is where most parents in the countryside take their pre-schoolers. They have little option because they cannot afford the fees charged by many private schools.
