SDG4 data -Early childhood Education UNESCO
"The purpose of the national SDG 4 benchmarking process is not just to identify whether countries progress towards the targets they have set but also to identify lessons from countries’ distinct trajectories and how these relate to policies. This annual report aims to review one benchmark indicator each edition to highlight how observed progress relates to policies. For this first edition, the focus indicator is the early childhood education participation rate (global indicator 4.2.2) and the review focuses on three sets of policies: the extent to which countries have, first, adopted free and compulsory pre-primary education legislation; second, adopted policies that regulate pre-primary education provision; and third, invested in pre-primary education."
