Background: This report is intended to examine qualitative aspects of ECCE programs and state services in China and the extent to which they are, in reality, benefiting the development and learning of young children. The report aims to go beyond the broad figures and officially authorized depictions of ECCE provisions in the PRC. It examines issues of access and indicators of quality and variations across socio-demographic dimensions such as rural-urban, economic level, and gender. The methodology for the report included a literature review and contacts with scholars and officials inside and outside the PRC who have worked on research and development on ECCE in China (see Appendix 1).
