In many countries, funding to each child in primary education is 1. 5 times greater than similar funding in early education...

Dans beaucoup de pays, le financement par enfant dans l'enseignement primaire est 1,5 fois plus élevé que dans l'éducation de la petite enfance [...] Encore plus surprenant, le financement par étudiant dans l'enseignement supérieur est en général cinq ou six fois plus élevé que pour un enfant du préprimaire, alors que les avantages économiques et éducatifs des investissements dans la petite enfance sont parfaitement prouvés.

OBS

New evidence on the effects of early experiences on brain development, school readiness and health in later life has sparked a growing consensus about early child development as a powerful determinant of health in its own right. At the same time, we have been learning more about how all of the other determinants of health affect the physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual development of children and youth. For example, a young person's development is greatly affected by his or her housing and neighborhood, family income and level of parents’ education, access to nutritious foods and physical recreation, genetic makeup and access to dental and medical.
