This report describes an early childhood program in Nepal and the dramatic effects it has had over just a few years, not only for young children, but for their families and communities. It looks in particular at the impact the program has had on children’s transition to school, a significant issue in a country where many children never start school and where those who do start drop out in large numbers during the first and second year.
The study took place in 38 communities that have ECD centers in an extremely impoverished district in the eastern terai. The research on which this report looked at critical numbers and trends – en- rollment rates, passing rates, school retention, gender and ethnic breakdowns. Equally important, it drew on people’s experience, opinions and obser-
vations in an attempt to understand the dynamics underlying these trends. The early childhood program in the villages of Siraha, Nepal has been successful beyond expectations. We are also beginning to have some understanding of why this is so and what we need to do to build on this success.
