Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care
The Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care project is a joint effort between the Novak Djokovic Foundation and the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science, and Technological Development, financed from the World Bank loan proceeds. Once completed, it will have granted at least 3,000 children with the access to preschool education.
"If we expect our children to thrive at our colleges and universities, and succeed in our economy once they graduate - first we must make quality, affordable early childhood education accessible to all."
Why the ECEC project?
The expansion of preschool participation rates has been the key to our mission for over a decade. Thanks to the shared vision with the Ministry of Education and the World Bank, we are making big steps towards ensuring that every child goes to preschool by 2030.
The goal of the Project is to improve the accessibility, quality and equity of preschool education for every child from birth to 6.5 years, especially for children from socially and economically disadvantaged social groups. Preschool children and their families, preschool institutions, local communities (local self-governments, health services, centers for social work, etc.), state administration institutions in charge of preschool education, etc. all benefit from the project.
