Early childhood education is a key intervention for Ethiopia because it equips young children with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in school and life, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and personal development.
Thousands of kindergarten-level schools are being established nationwide to expand access to quality pre-primary programs, train educators, and provide safe, stimulating learning environments.
Early education also addresses inequalities by reaching underserved communities, promotes social and cognitive development, and strengthens the future workforce. By investing in the earliest years, Ethiopia is fostering a generation of confident, capable, and engaged learners, supporting long-term social and economic development.
