Zhao, Yiran Vicky; Bhattacharjea, Suman; Alcott, Benjamin – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
There is near consensus that early childhood education and care (ECEC) is essential to children's early development. A common corollary is that early learning will be pivotal to helping redress inequities in educational outcomes. We examine whether this is true among rural communities in the Indian states of Assam, Rajasthan, and Telangana.…

Compared maternal expectations of child development in India (n=50), Japan (n=50), and England (n=70) by asking mothers to indicate at which age they expected a child to achieve competency in 45 tasks. Results show that competence was expected at a slightly earlier age in Japan than in England, and altogether later in India. Differences between…
