Very limited data on children's social and emotional development was available in Pakistan. The Releasing Confidence and Creativity (RCC): Early Child Development (ECD) program focused on holistic child development referring to the combination of physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development in the early years. The study has been designed to observe the effects of the RCC program intervention on social and emotional development of children and to measure the progress in children’s social emotional development after attending ECD classes. The EDI was used as a key measure.
Impact
The project informed the efficacy of the RCC program in enhancing early child development.
Student Experience
Students had the opportunity to assist with various aspect of the project, such as data analyses, literature reviews, and creation of technical reports. This opportunity helped to inform students’ understanding of international partnerships while furthering their research skills.
