In meeting the first goal of Education for All, “Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children”the current review of the Early Childhood Policy Review is expected to be both useful and timely in identifying, documenting and sharing good practices as well as constraints and challenges in
early childhood policy development and implementation in Nepal. Although early childhood is relatively a new concern and late comer in the development agenda, its progress has been extremely rapid in this country. The commitments made by the government in the international forums such as World Summit for Children, World Conference on Education for All, and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child have been instrumental in developing early childhood plans and programs.
Although there is no specific national policy on ECD, the policy related decisions can be found in various national plans and policy documents. This study has reviewed the national plans and programs as well as early childhood related policies mentioned in the relevant documents.Involvement of various ministries, national and international non-governmental organizations, UN agencies-UNESCO and UNICEF and private sector have contributed in the expansion of early childhood services in Nepal.
