Today, we are releasing a new paper from well-known education economist Atonu Rabbani.
Professor Rabbani makes the point that one of the most powerful education investments that can be made is in early childhood education. He proposes a simple policy where Haitian children aged 4-5 years old at the pre-primary school level receive early childhood education for two years in small groups of 25.
