NEP , ||NEP proposes Early Child Care and Education
Early childhood, defined as the years from birth to age eight, is a critical period that sets the stage for a childs growth and learning trajectory. Research from neurobiology and cognitive development suggests that 90% of brain development occurs in the first six years of life.
During these years, vital development in emotional control, motor, cognitive, language, and number skills occur systematically, with acquisition of simpler abilities paving the way for more complex ones. Therefore, when it comes to improving educational, socio-emotional and economic outcomes, early childhood offers a unique window of opportunity for policymakers to implement programs that can be more cost-effective and impactful than those targeting older age groups.
The potential of intervening during early childhood has not escaped the notice of policymakers in India. The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, established over forty years ago to improve childrens health, nutrition, and education, boasts an enrolment of roughly 32 million children for preschool education. Though private schools have offered pre-primary education for decades, many state governments, recognising the need to formalise early childhood education, have proactively initiated pre-primary grades in their schools in the past 3-4 years, broadening the access to formal preschooling, especially in underserved areas.
