Global
NIEER's global ECE research fosters collaboration, knowledge exchange, and cross-cultural learning among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to drive sustainable improvements and positive impacts in early childhood education systems worldwide.
Global early childhood education research plays a crucial role in enhancing the understanding, improvement, and impact of early childhood education policies and practices. Amidst the abundance of evidence and studies primarily derived from Western countries, the expansion of global early childhood care and education research becomes essential and urgent to inform global efforts in early childhood. Our research aims to engage perspectives from various cultural and socio-economic contexts, unveiling innovative approaches and exemplary programs or practices that can be scaled or adapted elsewhere. Our efforts aim to inform policymaking, address inequities in access and quality, and improve learning opportunities for all children. Longitudinal studies, when feasible, provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of early education, and evidence-based solutions can result in positive outcomes for young children and their families.
