The unprecedented rise of pre-primary education in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has seen a rapid expansion in pre-primary education, from 895,000 children enrolled in 2010 to 2.86 million five years later. Government and civil society partners worked together to make one year of pre-primary education universally available in the country - however, significant issues remain with the quality of the education provided, and empirical evidence for its impact on child development is yet to be published.
