Overview
Early Childhood Development and Education is one of the priority areas of the UNICEF Uzbekistan Country Programme. UNICEF has been complementing the Government of Uzbekistan’s efforts to improve the Early Childhood Education (ECE) services through providing technical support to enhance systemic improvements and policy reforms. All of the forms of alternative ECEs proposed considered holistic development of a child, including social and emotional and cognitive, in low cost, parents engagement, use of spare premises which was not expensive to equip, ECE opportunities for children from various cultural environment, opportunities for different age children to learn and develop through interaction in broad social context and preparation for school and kindergarten (in the long-term); School readiness model has been taken over by the Government and introduced as part of the commitment of implementation of the new Law on Preschool Education guaranteeing free compulsory pre-primary education for all 6 years old children. Based on the Work plan and identified key stages of the modeling areas of responsibilities has been identified and agreed. While UNICEF provided full equipment of the ECE facilities with Teaching and Learning Materials and furniture the local Government was responsible for identifying of appropriate facilities, renovation and establishing of WASH facilities. Teachers were identified and they received salaries from local government. The evaluation was planned by the Country Office to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the modeling, present lessons learned and see if the model meets human and child rights standards and equity gaps to inform Government for further scale up the model Nationwide, with engagement of other stakeholders as IsDB, WB and others. A key focus on costing and financing of the proposed model is also required in light of need for scale up and existing challenges to sustain population growth with quality services.
