Early Investment in Preschool and Completion of Secondary Education in Ethiopia: Lessons From Young Lives

Investments in early childhood education are believed to be critical in forming the foundation for life-long learning and providing children with the opportunity to reach their full potential. This is because early childhood is a crucial phase of growth and development, where early circumstances can influence outcomes across the entire course of an individual’s life.

Growth recovery and faltering through early adolescence:Determinants and implications for cognitive development

Child chronic undernutrition, as measured by stunting, is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries and is among the major threats to child development. While stunting and its implications for cognitive development have been considered irreversible beyond early childhood there is a lack of consensus in the literature on this as there is some evidence of recovery from stunting and that this recovery may be associated with improvements in cognition.
