Extract

The twelve years from 1966 to 1978 were very exciting ones for early childhood education in the Caribbean. During this period early childhood education was acknowledged as the foundation upon which to build the fundamental principle of “equality of quality educational opportunities for all” – a principle which each island government supports and is prepared to accept as an obligation and make real for its children - rich and poor.
