Right to Early Childhood Development: A Comparative Framework.

Abstract

The scope of this current report, while focused on institutional, formal provisions and state obligations with respect to early learning opportunities within the right to ECD, has excavated insights keeping the holistic nature of the right to ECD in mind. The nature of state obligations towards fulfilling early learning opportunities, even within formal institutional frameworks is integrally intertwined with other dimensions of early childhood development. This summary provides some instances of the nature of this overlap in the sections to follow, but the specific jurisdictional reports demonstrate the same with greater nuance and detail.
