Early Childhood Education Promises Better Futures for All

Pre-primary education has profound benefits for children throughout their lives, Angella Kasule Nabwowe and Jo Becker write in a guest column. It boosts their educational attainment, health, and employment prospects. Brain development is at its highest in early childhood, so this is a critical time for learning.

Scholars across Africa are linking conflict prevention and peacebuilding to reducing economic, social and environmental stresses. The African Union's declaration of 2024 as the 'Year of Education' should spur progress. This guest column is among a series of articles that look at such critical issues as food security, which are essential for keeping and building a peaceful world.
