Impact Evaluation of Early Childhood Programmes Nirmala Rao, PhD The University of Hong Kong
Conclusions • Different types of ECD interventions • ECE, formal preschool, home visiting/nutritional • Type, dosage, change agent, agent etc. but one thing in common want to measure impact • Measurement of Impact • Different designs: robust evidence-based decision making • Child measures versus indirect measures • Repeated versus one shot assessment; • Short-term versus long term ; Intentional versus unintentional effects
Conclusions • Future studies • More nuanced answer to the question, “Do early childhood interventions work?” • More emphasis on processes that have led to the non-effects/effect • Mothers versus fathers • Quality matters
