Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2030

• In July 2020, the Ministry of Education released the new National Education Policy, where schooling begins with the inclusion of ECCE from age 3.

• The policy states "Universal provisioning of quality early childhood development, care, and education must thus be achieved as soon as possible, and no later than 2030, to ensure that all students entering Grade 1 are school ready."
