    Excellence In Early Childhood Development

    HCI Foundation's Early Childhood Development (ECD) strategy, inspired by the African proverb "it takes a village to raise a child," aims to ensure all children access quality, inclusive early learning programmes. Skilled, passionate teachers provide play-based education, which is vital for a child's success in school and life. With 90% of brain development occurring by age five, quality early learning is crucial for both the child's future and the economy.

    Excellence In Early Childhood Development

    The eight elements look at ECD in an integrated way while supporting the child holistically. We believe all ECD sites should be supported to implement the eight elements to provide children with the tools they need to succeed later in life. Our Excellence in ECD initiative seeks to create bridges between all relevant stakeholders to support South African children’s pathway into formal schooling for their academic success.

    Teacher Development

    The 2019 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) report, exploring the global state of education in pursuit of the 2030 Millennium Development Goals, highlighted the lack of qualified teachers as a significant risk factor to achieving the goal of universal primary education. To achieve this goal, the Centre for Development and Enterprise estimates that approximately 25 000 teachers need to qualify each year.
