Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impacts of offering this additional year of pre-primary education in Bangladesh on child development outcomes (cognitive and social emotional), and will examine the benefits relative to the costs of the program. The study will also examine the mechanisms through which EYPP affects the outcomes of interest (e.g., children's school readiness), and the operational and community conditions for program implementation. This study will provide evidence for the Government of Bangladesh on how and how much the additional year of preschool benefits children, and at what cost. In addition to informing future policy in Bangladesh, this information may also be useful for other countries considering similar programming.
